I would say that "a bit fiddly" was probably an understatement :-)

Not quite right Tony, though it does depend upon the version. With Word
XP
and later, the Table Borders toolbar has buttons for Descending Right and
Descending Left diagonals. The text that you type in the cell does not
however pay any attention to the diagonals and it's a bit fiddly to
separate
what you want above the diagonal from what you want below it.

This cannot be done in Word. And I don't think it would be easy to mock
up
something which even came close.

I am trying to create a table for a coworker in which the cells within
a
column a split on the diagonal (dividing line from top right to lower
left).
He has seen these on many forms, especially in the medical industry.
