Hiding the unused rows and columns then protecting the sheet is the usual
method.

Setting the scrollarea using VBA is another method.

Note: Setting ScrollArea is good for that session only and only the
activesheet. Has to be reset next time workbook is opened.

Best to place the code into a WorkBook_Open Sub in ThisWorkbook module and
specify which worksheet.

Private Sub WorkBook_Open()
Sheets("YourSheet").ScrollArea = "A1:P60"
End Sub

How do you set the Scroll Area on a worksheet so that the ability to move
around the sheet is limited to the selected area?
