If this really is for Word, protection can only be applied on a Document
Section by Document Section basis, not to individual Cells or ranges of
Cells in a table.

Are you dealing with Word or Excel.

The nearest thing that you could come to it in Word would be to insert
FormFields into the Cells of a table that you do NOT want to protect and
then apply Protection for Filling in Forms to the Section of the document
that contains the table. Be aware though that applying such Protection to a
document does restrict other things that you can do with the document, even
Sections that are not Protected.

I need to apply document protection exception to a multitude of table cells
and would think there must be a way to select more than one at a time. I
can
select multiple columns or multiple rows or multiple contiguous groups but
unfortunately the cells I need to "unprotect" are not arranged in that
manner. So... how can one select multiple non-contiguous single cells?
