Is there a way to put in a diagonal line in a cell?

I'm new at this, and I'm wondering if I can make a diagonal line in a cell,
and then be able to write in both parts. Any help is appreciated.....Peter

Yes and no. In Word 2000 (?) and above, there are buttons on the Borders
flyout from the Formatting and Tables and Borders toolbars to add a / or \
diagonal to a cell. But this is merely a border/drawing object; it doesn't
actually divide the cell. You can position text in each half, but only by
typing the text in such a way that it appears to be divided between the
triangles.
