You can add some color to the background of each cell to make the spreadsheet look nice.  Follow the steps below to add background colors to the data:

1. Click once in the merged cell in Row 1 where you typed the title

2. Click the FILL COLOR button on the toolbar

3. Choose a light color.  It is important to choose a light shade here, not a dark one!  It doesn’t matter what color you choose, just make sure it’s not a dark shade.

4. Click in cell A2 and drag over to D2 to select the cells in Row 2 with data in them

5. Click the FILL color button on the toolbar.  

6. Choose a dark color.  Yes, that’s right - choose a dark color!  The background of these cells should be darker since the font is light.
