Default Need help with cells

Hello, I need someone to explain to me how to make a row(s) diagonal.
Now, not just the font, I have seen where the row was angled.
I need to make a sheet with descriptions at the top & can not take up alot
of room.
Thank you for any help that you may have.
I have Office 2001 Premium
Thanks...

select the cells and go to formatcells and on the alignment tab there is the
orientation art where you can specify the angle of the text. Any cell
borders will then also go to this angle

You cannot phyically make a cell diagonal.

You can make it look like it is diagonal using the Protractor in
FormatCellsAlignment to slant the text and apply diagonal borders on the
cells.

Best to also give them a background color to make them stand out.
