Re: two simple questions line insert and gridlines default

Re #1 - I've typically found that when someone expresses a "need" to do
this 
it's because they are adding new records to a list and want to maintain
the 
list in a particular order. That order is normally based on the content of

one of the fields (columns) in the list.

If that's the case here, have you considered just adding the new records
to 
the bottom of the list, then Sorting the list based on the key field?
That's 
what the A-Z & Z-A buttons are for. Using Data> Sort you can actually do a

multi-level sort on as many as three fields. You might also consider using

the Data> Form feature to facilitate adding records to the list. Just make

sure you have selected a cell in the list range before attempting to use 
either feature.
