I have Excel 2003 (11.6355.6360) running on XP and I'm wondering if
this is a bug or not.
If you have text in the first Row and you set it to 45 degrees angled,
if you try and fill different cells with different fill colors,
sometimes the box will fill angled, othertimes straight up and down.
As a simple test, try creating a blank worksheet and make the first 3
columns 35 each in width and 100 in height. The type some text in
each of the cells - not too much. Now select all 3 cells and format
their alignment to 45 degrees. Now pick each one of the cells and
fill each with a different color.
It's driving me nuts and I want this to work soooo bad for a critical
doc I'm working on - but it looks ugly as hell because some are angled
and others are straight up and down (like it's conforming to still
being a rectangle vs. a paralleogram now for shape. I have a sheet
I've been working on that the first 4 cells follow the rules but
anything else doesn't work right.
Anyone have any ideas here?
