[?] Create diagonal border with 45 degree text

[aqua]

In Excel , how do I create a border line that is 45 degree or diagonal? I am trying to make a 3-d table effect where the heading look like it is going out of the computer (not related to chart function).

I attached an example file of what I am trying to do. I wasn't able to figure how it was done in filename sample.xls. In the sample.xls, when I selected Format Cells --> Border; I saw that the author did NOT make use of diagonal line but just vertical line but the border of the cell look diagonal in the spreadsheet.

Format the cell and change the text to 45 degrees that may be what you are looking for. The text pushes the borders into a 45 degree angle.

The path is Format > Cells...> Alignment tab
