Hello,
At work today I was asked to create a spread sheet with products and
they want the colums on the top to say the name of the product in a
slanted lined format. I am not sure what this is called and I am not
sure how to explain it with out showing what I mean.

But instead if striaght up and down lines on the top the need to be
slanted on an angel when you type the text in the texts types straight
accrossed but when you are done typing it goies up on that angle in the
lines. I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to do
this. I have a few books on excel yet I can not find the answer.

Any help would be wonderful.:)

That isn't very informative.

Just do what Biff said or read the link and apply a border to the
cells.

thats not working here though I can get the slanted lines.... that part
is good.

I can not get the text to match it though.

The text needs to be centered and the text is all over the place or
slanted but not centered in the lines and doesnt match the lines. I am
lost.


Thanks

Hi!

Select the cell(s) in question.
Goto the menu FormatCellsAlignment tab
On the right side you'll see Orientation
Either "grab" the dial with your mouse and drag to the desired angle or use
the spinner buttons.
