Default Protect an individual cell to allow funtionality of form fields

I've got an interesting situation... I'm trying to create a form that allows
the user a good amount of editing ability, but also with many drop-down and
fill in form fields.

The first section of the document is a "true" form, and allows only the
filling in of form fields.

The second section is a table in which I would like to allow the user to
delete several rows, while maintaining the functionality of drop-down fields
in the 2nd and 3rd columns if the user decides to keep the section. Here's
an example:

|Building Coverage***********************************|
*************|**[Text Form Field]**|**[Drop-Down Field]**|
*************|**[Text Form Field]**|**[Drop-Down Field]**|
|Auto Coverage*************************************|
*************|**[Text Form Field]**|**[Drop-Down Field]**|
|Liability Coverage***********************************|
*************|**[Text Form Field]**|**[Drop-Down Field]**|
*************|**[Text Form Field]**|**[Drop-Down Field]**|

In this example, I'd like the user to be able to delete the entire "Auto
coverage" section (two rows), but if they decided to keep it, I would want
the text form field and drop down fields to still work.

Not sure if this is possible, or if a macro would be a better solution to
the problem.
