Rotating excel spreadsheet for use in photoshop/ using diamond cells tia sal2
Rotating excel spreadsheet for use in photoshop/ using diamond cells tia
sal2 Greetings, All I'm trying to get the basic spreadsheet that has square cells that looks like this http://www.onewithall.net/rodin/excel_squares.jpg to look like this with diamond cells that looks like this http://www.onewithall.net/rodin/excel_diamonds.jpg Can Excel do this? I know I can type them in manually in photoshop but I need to input 100's of numbers. If excel can't do this can someone recommend another program or suggests a better way of doing it if they have one. Thanks sal2 PS: What I'm trying to do. I'm trying import an image of excel numbers (which will be 100s) into Photoshop to map an object. |

One method might be to use Photoshop to create a graphic with the diamond
grid and then use that graphic to simulate a watermark in Excel. Use Excel Help and search for "watermark" or "insert watermark" for instructions on how to do it. You could also turn off displaying/printing gridlines for a cleaner output. It will probably take some trial and error to get the graphic to the right dimensions and adjust column heights/widths to align things within the diamonds.

JLatham, sal2
I just wanted to mention that a background image can be difficult to keep lined up with cells. The background image is placed on the monitor in actual size (pixel for pixel) and doesn't respond to zooming in and out. So it will get out of alignment with the cells when zoom is changed. And it doesn't print. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "JLatham" <HelpFrom @ Jlathamsite.com.(removethis) wrote in message ...

Correct - and that is exactly why I suggested the imitation watermark (a
graphic inserted into the Header area of a sheet) rather than a sheet Background. It might possibly be easier to do in Word where you could insert the graphic right onto the page and set its property to "behind Text" and then type right on top of it.
