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

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

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 pag
(tools->options->view) to make it look a bit more professional it migh
help you

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.
