Unless you are trying for a diagonal split. You can kludge that by following this advice from Shlomo Perets: "[ Following applies only if you are producing print / PDF outputs... ] "As there is no such built-in feature, the best you can do is indeed insert an anchored frame in the cell, set it to Outside Column, drag the frame into the cell (it can be slightly larger or small than the cell), and draw a diagonal line inside the frame (inspect in larger magnifications and in print). "If the dimensions of the table cell change, you will need to adjust the diagonal line accordingly. "When placed inside a heading cell, the diagonal line will duplicate properly on subsequent pages (if the table is split between pages). "The heading text is part of the table cell (positioned through fixed spaces or tabs, newlines)."
