Hi guys.
I just would like to know if there is a way of protecting only certain
cells in a table from being edited and the others to be edited at free will,
without using code?
Thanks!

Try this: In the Document Protection task pane (Word 2003) or the Restrict
Formatting and Editing task pane (Word 2007), choose "No changes (Read
only)" under "Editing restrictions." Then mark as "Exceptions" the areas
that you want users to be able to edit. When you are done, click the Yes,
Start Enforcing Protection button.

Thanks, this has helped me greatly... but now when I print it leaves marks
where you can enter text. How do I get these markers not to print out.

Hmm, I cannot reproduce this. When I test it, the highlighting (applied by
Word) does not print. Are you sure that you didn't inadvertently apply
shading to the text?
