Excel Etiquette - norms, do's, dont's, pet peeves, unwritten rules of the road, and mooo

What do you do right before you save the excel doc before you send it?  Personally, I make sure that the cursor in all my tabs sits in cell A1, I always scroll so that cell A1 is visible in every tab, and I make sure that I am in the left most tab.

If you send docs off the chain and just don't do this type of shit, maybe share some of your pet peeves when you receive a doc...  One sorry moron at a bank where I was at previously hated black text - when you thought you've heard it all.  He loved the stock blue that is second column from the left all the way down... which is literally an eye lash away from black.  One of the associates used to either put an absurd color like orange/yellow or he would use a blue/brown that was closest to black without being black haha then he would find the color reference number and save it at the bottom of one of the sheets so he could remember which color it was in case the guy flipped out.

Anyways - would love to hear
