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!

If your font spacing is like mine, you'll have a column on the left for
titles, a grid after that, and at the top, instead of needing wide columns,
the columns are sloped at an angle so I can write the title in at an angle.




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!
