I'm trying to rotate the cells (not just the text in the cells) to a
45-degree angle. I've done this in past versions of Excel, but I can't find
it in Excel XP (2003?)

Go to the Format menu, choose Cell and then the Alignment tab.
There, adjust the Orientation control to suit your needs.

Hi
Having rotated your text to 45 degrees, give the cells a Border and that
will be angled as well.

I am having the same problem. I tried Format->Alignment, but all I get is a
square cell with my text going diagonal. What I want is a diagonal text in a
diagonal cell. I am having the same problem in Excel 2000 and 2003. Any
other suggestions? Thanks.

You can't rotate the cells. You can only give the illusion they are rotated. Rogers solution works fine for me.
Thx
