Cell appearance
 

Hi, I really need to create a document for a peice of college work and
I am stuck. I need to change the cell direction so that they appear
diagonally. It is the actual cell that needs to change and not the
text. Please look at the following for an example of what I am trying
to achieve.

I hope that this makes sense and that somebody can help. Thanx!

to replicate something similar to that image all you'll have to do is
draw some lines and formatted the text vertically

view-toolbars-drawing (make sure it's checked)
click the line and go to town.

if you want you can get rid of the grid lines on the page
(tools-options-view) to make it look a bit more professional it might
help you.

I see the picture but I don't see any diagonal cells???

You cannot change the orientation of the actual cell.

You can change the orientation of the text within a cell, add borders and colors
to give the appearance of slanted cells.

The cell remains rectangular.
