Excel Cell Borders alignment
My spreadsheet has borders around the cells but when I format the text orientation to diagonal the vertical borders also show diagonal and the whole cell crosses over into the next cell. How do I keep the vertical borders vertical and not diagonal. This never used to happen in older versions of excel.
DeanBronco Some research on the web tells me that this already happened in Excel 2003. I guess it is to be considered a feature of working with borders. I found two-work arounds on-line in very old articles but neither of them can be considered "good practice". Attached a file with the work-arounds applied. Alternatively, reconsider the use of angled texts with borders.

Thanks Riny_van_Eekelen
I appreciate you looking into this for me.
I think for what I want your option 3 using merged cells works best for what I want.
