tables with oblique cells??

[v_roma]

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if it was possible to create a table in
word, where the first row contains "oblique" cells (see
below please). This layout is not that uncommon but I
can't seem to figure out how to do it in Word (possibly bc
you just can't do it).

What I wanted was something like this:

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\
|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|
|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|
|_|_|_|_|_|_|_|

Thanks!

This is possible in Excel, not in Word. You can rotate text 90 degrees right
or left but not on an angle.

If you are trying to angle text along the oblique angle, you can insert an
Excel spreadsheet, then format the cell alignment by -45 degrees.

Thanks a lot. I think that's what I was looking for.
