I'm still using OOo 1.1.3 (a Debian package). I want to create a checklist where I'm listing a number of items down the left side, in one column, one item per row. I want to put the titles at the top, across the first row, but I want the text at a 45 degree angle. While I know how to do this, I'd like the sides of the column to slope with the text. I'm making a checklist and the list of items down the left will be all the different parts I'm working on and the row across the top will be a list of tasks I have to perform on each section. I want the columns to be narrow, since they only have to have room for me to make a checkmark. This means I want to fit a full title in the column, but I don't want a wide column -- I want the column edges to slope at 45 degrees like the text.I know we've all seen tables like this, I'm just not sure how to describe it. Below is an attempt at drawing it, but I know everyone has different fonts, so in most cases it'll look like a mess. Thanks for any help on this!

I don't think you can do this but would the text at 90 deg work for you? At least the columns would be as narrow as possible!
