 From what I remember of Excel, from years ago, isn't that standard 
behavior for it?
With Excel, the grid starts at top left of the screen, and goes to the 
right as well as downward, off screen. That's so you can have as many 
horizontal entries as you need, and make as many columns as you need.

As I recall, it's the user that places the limit on the grid pattern 
size after he uses it and established how many columns and rows there 
will be, by identifying them. If there are more than fits the monitor 
screen, the grid does run off-screen and you can scroll to get to where 
you need to be.

But, maybe you are thinking of something entirely different...
