Border around body of report?

This seems like something that should be easy but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I use a masterpage for my header and footer and all i want is to surround the body with a border. It should look like this (you should totally be jealous of my drawing skills by the way!):

Hi,
 
I don't think you will be able to control this from the Master Page. The only solution I can think of is to put everything that is in the Page Layout into a 1 X 1 grid and add the border to the grid.
 
Hope this helps,

There are two ways to do this; 
 
 1 - Like P. says, you can use a Grid (I've attached an example). 
 2 - you may also create an effect of "rounded corners" using a table to hold the contents of a report.
 Here is an example of the "Rounded Corners" technique found on Devshare: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/files/file/737-rendering-a-table-with-rounded-corners/'>'rounded corners'.</a>
