Hello,

I am trying to do a school assignment and am struggling with angled
headings. I am having a hard time explaining exactly what I want to
do, so I attached a picture at this location:

I have no problem angling the text, but I can't figure out a way to
have the borders angled beside the text. Is there a way to create
cells that are shaped like this:  / /  ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Sean

Select the cells and Format>Cells>Alignment.

Use the protractor to set the text at an angle.

Place borders around the cells and fill in with color if desired.

Note:  the cells will not be angled but the text and borders will make it look
like it.

awww I cannot believe how easy that is. Thanks for your help. I was
trying to use the diagonal border and that's where I was going wrong.
Thanks again.
