How do I make a chart with an angled cell across the top
This can't be done in Word (you can have vertical text, but not angled), but
it can be done in Excel. -- Suzanne S.

How do I make a chart with an angled cell across the top
Well, the first thing you need to know is that *all* the cells in a given
row have to be angled. That's what threw me off the first time I tried it. Select the row, then use Format | Cells | Alignment and drag the red diamond to the desired angle (say, 45 degrees). You won't see any change in the cells until you type something, and you won't get the full effect unless you make the columns narrower than the angled text. -- Suzanne S.

When I saw your response, Suzanne, I thought I'd awoken in an alternative
universe, one in which Word is quite different from the Word I know... I went through the steps to verify what I already knew -- no such red diamond existed. Then, in desperation and confusion, I read the previous response and discovered you were talking about Excel... not Word. Man, was I relieved. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Yeah, well you do have to be following the thread! And of course, although I
didn't mention it earlier, presumably an Excel object could be embedded in Word in order to accomplish this in a Word document (but only for one page or less). -- Suzanne S.
