        <description><![CDATA[Long ago (in a galaxy far, far away)...actually it was way back from a much earlier version of Windows &amp; Office......I could change the background color (by default for all of Excel) from white to another color.  This was helpful to me because I could then add notes/comments that were helpful to me in working on the spreadsheet in a white font - they would show up on my screen, but not print.I haven't been able to find this again for years and years.  Does anyone else remember this and is there a way to do this now (in Office 2010)?Thank you for any input you may have on this.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[always check your output prints effectively in black and white (and colour)many shades appear the same when printed and can obliterate textcell patterns take precedence over cell shading (at least, it does here)use the lightest possible cell pattern or it will make the text unreadablemy other tip about using colour: generally don't, or at least use very sparingly - it's much more effective]]></description>
