Just hide the portion at the bottom of your spreadsheet that you don't want to scroll into. Use the keyboard shortcuts you've been given to select those rows, then Format → Rows → Hide. Or type the selection into the Name Box then hide its rows. Below, I've hidden all rows past 60. Row 1 is the frozen heading row. I've scrolled past rows 2-30 but I can't scroll farther (until I unhide some rows using the Name Box). The link below provides important, fundamental information about navigating in spreadsheets. You will find it hard to use spreadsheets effectively without understanding this subject.I would like to know if there was a way to stop the data before it diappeared past the heading bar.
Calc Guide, Chapter 1: Introducing Calc, Using Spreadsheets in OpenOffice, Selecting items in a sheet or spreadsheet
Many features of Calc can only be performed by using the keyboard. There's no effective way to enter data without using it. You can't use Find & replace without typing the text to be located and changed. If you try to do operations with only the mouse you just make more work for yourself. Use the appropriate tool for the task.… without my touching the keyboard?
But here you could replicate the keyboard shortcuts by creating a damned toolbar which has buttons to perform the same actions: To upper block margin, To lower block margin, To file begin, To file end, To previous sheet, etc. While possible, this seems to me like a waste of time with little benefit, but I wanted to try to answer your question. Read the following documentation to learn more.
