Default Diagonal shading in cell

I'm updating a 2008 calendar we've created in Word 2003 using a table for
each month. I need to show to different color shades on one day. I've found
I can put in a diagonal line, but can I shade it diagonally, also? Please
help!

No, the diagonal line doesn't actually divide the cell. You could create two
separate triangular drawing objects, fill them as desired, and send them
Behind Text.

If you mean you want to have a cell with a pattern of diagonal lines, then
click in the appropriate cell. Mouse Right click, Borders and Shading,
Shading tab, Patterns Style, scroll down the list and ther are some diagonal
shadings.
Hope this helps

But as Ms Branhill has mentioned you cannot just shade the half-cell.
Sorry. Maybe a Autoshape strategically placed will work if the document is
to be printed?
