If you can live without shading, here a couple of ways to get borders:

 *  Define a paragraph style that includes borders, and apply that
    style to the paragraphs in your table.  You may have to adjust
    column width and "space between" to get the right look.

 *  (For horizontal borders only)  Define a paragraph style that
    consists of only a border, and insert a row that contains a
    paragraph of that style wherever you want a horizontal border.

The second method is easier, but neither is rocket science--they just
take a couple of practice runs.
