There’s a trick to that as well.Ĭlick inside the cell you’ve just split and go to the Home tab on the ribbon. You need to add data to the table such that is separated by the diagonal border you’ve just drawn but still legible. It is still one cell with a line drawn across it and that isn’t of much use. you don’t actually have two different cells. Pick the one you want to diagonally split a cell. The little icon next to each option illustrates how the cell will be split with each border style. The border options have two options for splitting the cell Diagonal Down Border, and Diagonal Up Border.

Go to the Design tab in the Table Tools set of tabs and click the Borders option. Click inside the cell you want to split diagonally. MS Word gives you the freedom to create your own table styles as well and if you want, you can diagonally split a cell in MS Word and mimic the other table styles. This is usually the first cell in the first row. You might have noticed that some table styles allow you to split a cell diagonally. Depending on the colors you pick for your document and/or spreadsheet, the table styles appear in corresponding colors.

MS Excel and MS Word both come with table styles.
