Default Can I lock table in Word templete & still a edit cell contents?

Assuming that you are using a recent version of Word you can restrict the
formatting and editing so that only certain cells can be edited.

In Word 2007, on the Developer tab, click Protect Document. Under "Editing
restrictions," choose "No changes (Read only)"; then set "Exceptions" for
the cells that should be editable. When you are done, click Yes, Start
Enforcing Protection.

I have a number of tables I have saved in a template. I'd like to be able
to
lock the number of cells and their size in each of the tables, but still
be
able to edit the contents of each table cell. Currently, when I cut and
paste content cells it doesn't enter the pasted content into the existing
cells, it adds cells. I have to figure out how many cells it added and
delete the excess cells. Thanks
