You need to be a bit more specific.

What version of Word? What section(s) do you want to protect? Everything
prior to the table for users to input info or what?

Have you looked into using Fields for the table where you want to protect
the information?

When you protect the document for Forms (via the Dialog or Task Pane
depending on version) you have the option to say which Sections should be
protected. Make your first section (with the formfields) protected and the
second (with the table below) unprotected.
