I need to be able to do a find (Ctrl +F) in a table. The table is in a
protected document. The the tables within the documents are huge. The find
(binoculars) and Ctrl + F work when the document is not protected. Once
protected the binolulars fade and the the button is not usable.
I very much appreciate your consideration for help.

Sorry, that was the wrong answer, but you will have to unprotect the
documnet, either manually or by using code such as the following which will
reprotect it after the Edit Find dialog is dismissed:

With ActiveDocument
.Unprotect
Dialogs(wdDialogEditFind).Show
.Protect wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset
End With
