Introduction

Microsoft Office Excel 2003 offers several tools that make your worksheets look attractive and professional. Without formatting, a worksheet can look confusing with meaningless data. To highlight important information, you can change the appearance of selected numbers and text by adding dollar signs, commas, and other numerical formats, or by applying attributes such as boldface and italics. You can change font and font size, adjust the alignment of data in cells , and add colors, patterns, borders, and pictures. By using AutoFormats and styles to apply multiple changes, you can speed up the formatting process and ensure a greater degree of consistency among your worksheets.

You can also modify the look of your printouts by adjusting a variety of print settings, including page orientation, margins, headers and footers, and other elements that enhance the readability of your worksheets and workbooks. When you're ready to print your workbook, you can choose to print all or part of the worksheets.
