Need to angle the borders in a column

[Kasper]

Don't know how to slant the borders in a column. Don't want the line that
runs through the middle. Want the side borders to angle at 60 degrees if
possible. Know it can be done just not sure how.

Take a look at the dialog box that comes up with Format> Cells. Go to
the Border tab and look at the bottom left & right corners of the
'Border Box' where you should see little boxes with diagonal lines in
them.
Do they give you what you want?

Here is what is in Help for Excel. Are you trying to angle the borders without angling the text because the following method slants both text and borders?

Apply angled text and borders

1. Select the cells you want to format.
2. On the Format menu, click Cells.
3. On the Border tab, apply vertical borders to the left, right, and middle of the range.
4. On the Alignment tab, in the Orientation box, click a degree point, or drag the indicator to the angle you want.
Note It's usually best to select a positive angle between 30 and 60 degrees.

5. Under Text alignment, in the Horizontal list box, click Center, and then click OK.
Excel rotates the left and right borders along with the text.

6. To shrink all the columns to their smallest possible width, select them, point to Column On the Format menu, and then click AutoFit Selection.

Take a look at the dialog box that comes up with Format> Cells. Go to
the Border tab and look at the bottom left & right corners of the
'Border Box' where you should see little boxes with diagonal lines in
them.
