How to Change Appearance in Excel 2007

1. Choose a document theme to unite all of your Office 2007 programs with the same look. A document theme shares the same colors, fonts, lines, fill effects and other style choices. Select a document theme from the available choices or create a new document theme by going to Page Layout and selecting 'Themes.' Click on a document theme from 'Built-in' or 'Custom.' When you create a custom theme, save it under a new name.
2. Click Page Layout View to adjust margins or add headers and footers. This feature is similar to the Print Layout view in Word.
3. Use the different style choices to change the look of tables, charts and diagrams. Start with the quick styles (pre-defined styles) and customize to your liking.
4. Change chart and table Layout options to introduce changes that include moving items around. Charts and tables also have different styles to select. Go to the Design Tab or Chart or Table Styles, and click 'More.'
5. Alter your color scheme with a click of the Microsoft Office button. Click 'Excel options,' and then 'Popular.' Choose from the large number of color schemes. Change tab color by right clicking the worksheet tab. Aim at Tab Color, and choose your color.
6. Add formatting to charts not only changes the appearance, but also emphasizes important data. Try borders, fonts, bubbles or 3-D effects. If you really want an eye-catching look, try the 'Exploding Pie' or 'Doughnut Slice.' Pull up the Format dialog box to make changes. You can also right click chart items to format.
7. Fill charts not only with color, but also texture and pictures with the 'Fill Effects' command.
