"RowLiner will not draw lines in split windows or frozen panes."
"RowLiner will not draw lines when worksheets are grouped. This is by design."
"RowLiner will disable the Undo feature. This is a limitation imposed by the basic design of Excel and cannot be changed."
"A few users, primarily users with European versions of Excel, have reported that RowLiner causes Excel to crash. The cause of this is unknown. I have worked with Microsoft support engineers to resolve this problem, but Microsoft cannot determine the nature or cause of the crash."

Section 10.7: Protecting and Locking
You can protect your spreadsheet in three different levels:
File Level: A security feature that involves setting a password to restrict access to an Excel file, preventing others from opening or modifying it. It’s important to remember that Microsoft cannot recover passwords if they are lost or forgotten.
Workbook Level: Safeguards the structure of a workbook by restricting actions like adding, moving, deleting, hiding, or renaming worksheets.
Worksheet Level: Helps maintain data integrity by controlling how users interact with a worksheet. For instance, it ensures that critical formulas are not accidentally altered or deleted due to unintentional actions.
To protect your sheet or workbook,
Go to the Review Tab.
In the Protect section, click Protect Sheet or Protect Workbook.
If you want to protect your worksheet, the option for selecting locked and unlocked cells needs to be checked. The effects of doing this are the same for sighted and screen reader users. Both groups will be able to do or not do the same things based on what is protected and locked. The only exception is that if you protect a worksheet and do not allow a user to select locked or unlocked cells, screen readers cannot access those cells. Fortunately, the option is checked by default so try to avoid checking it by accident.
