Umm, make a cool looking page vorder, put cell borders around titles etc, and make each section a different style(EG.colour,cell borders)
Or just copy it into a word doc and make it look "pretty"

Ewwwwwwww. That's the right way to make it look unprofessional.

My tip is using little colour, and a nice clear font. Change the font to Verdena, it is just so much easier on the eyes. Keep the spreadsheet running a constant theme throughout. This could be just have certain values grey, or values generated from formulas highlighted.

However my main tip is: Keep it organised. You want it to be easy on the eyes. Use as little effects as possible, and just keep it clean and simple
