I copied a table from calc to write.  Protected the calculated data of 
two columns and unprotected with the procedure sugested by Mike Scott.

I repeated the protection, protecting first the last two columns and
later, the whole table. After that, I desprotected all the cells,
including the cells in the first two columns, following the
procedure of Mike Scott.

Two observations:

- I use LO version 5.0.0.5 on Windows 7 starter (with SP1).
- I was working in high contrast mode
  (black background - white letters). When I selected the whole table
  only the unprotected cells where selected. Even more, if I wanted
  to select cells from the last two columns, was not possible.
  I supossed, because where protected.
