How Do I Make My Spreadsheet Look Good?

[SirVLCIV]

Anyone have any good links/reads on improving spreadsheet design (specifically, appearance to enhance the end-user experience, and/or client output)?

Thanks VERY MUCH in advance! This is absolutely my weakest area in spreadsheet development.

Fancy you should mention that. I just closed out a series in CompAct on spreadsheet design [I named the series "The End Users Justify the Means"]

The first article can be found here:

starting on page 10

The second article is here:
http://soa.org/library/newsletters/c...2009-iss30.pdf
starting on page 16

Third here:
http://soa.org/library/newsletters/c...2009-iss31.pdf
Starts on page 13

Fourth and final:

Starts on page 20

I include references at the end of each article.
