Page format for Calculation Sheet

I've spent some time trying to optimize a standard page with borders and a title
area, to behave like a handwritten calculation sheet for engineering. Problem:
If the user changes a column or row width or height the borders move, too. I
concluded that all borders, col and row dimensions must be locked and the cells
sized for maybe 8 digits. If required the user can join cells for wider input.
Hence the following q's:

1. Can the sheet be locked to prevent cell dimension changes but allow for user
input?

2. Can a "hollow" image of the border and logo be laid over the page so the user
can work inside?

3. Can the display be modified to show only the page and exclude all the other
rows and columns? In other words, the grid only within the area the user may
enter data and formulae.

Any experience doing this?

Hi
1. Try protecting the sheet (and format the cells for which you want to
allow input: 'Format - Cells - Protection' and uncheck 'Locked')

2. Difficult but you may try 'Vie - Pagebreak view'

3. Simply hide these rows/columns
