Default Slanted cells in top row of Word table or Excel spreadsheet?

I want to make a single-page form that has long descriptions down the left,
and names of people across the top -- but the names need to be slanted upward
because there are too many, and the matrix boxes will have only a + or - in
them so they can be quite small. An example would be the mileage charts on a
road map, with city names at left and top but only a few numbers in the
matrix boxes. Is it possible to do this?

It can be done in Excel or in an Excel sheet embedded in Word. It can't be
done in Word, but you can rotate the text to the vertical.
