The following sections provide a number of helpful suggestions for organizing the view of your list. Aesthetics aside, making your list attractive and readable can actually help with the data-entry process and make the list easier to use. It's important that a list be understandable, especially when someone else has to use the list.
Caution
Don't get too carried away with these viewing options. As your data list grows, simple backgrounds and views become more desirable. The more complex the view, the less data you can see or comprehend onscreen.
