Quick Tip
Preventing others from adding rows or columns to a spreadsheet in Quattro® Pro
In Quattro Pro, you can prevent others from adding rows or columns to a spreadsheet. If the data in your spreadsheet will be viewed and possibly edited by others, but you don't want them to insert any new rows or columns, you can prevent this by entering data in the last cell of the spreadsheet.
To prevent others from adding rows or columns to a spreadsheet:
1. Press END + DOWN ARROW.
2. Press END + RIGHT ARROW. The cursor is at the last cell in the spreadsheet.
3. Type any value in this cell.
4. Press HOME to return to the first cell in the spreadsheet. If someone tries to add a row or column, an Out of Boundary message displays.

Quick Tips
In CorelDRAW 10, you can create contours of objects. This feature lets you create a series of concentric lines inside or outside the borders of an object.
To contour an object:
1. Using the Pick tool, select an object. In Bryce 4, you can render a scene using the RaySpray tool. This feature lets you instantly preview a specific area of a scene to view any modifications, which is less time-consuming than rendering an entire scene.
To render a scene using RaySpray:
1. Drag along the right-hand edge of the Bryce window to display the Advanced Display palette. Visit Designer.com for more great Tips & Tricks on Corel's graphics and publishing products.
