Default Delete rows from a protected sheet (write macro)

I have a spreadsheet that I want to keep protected. Users are allowed to
change values in certain cells. If need be, they can add a row or delete a
row. I selected to allow this feature before I protected the sheet. The add
row works fine. When a row or rows is/are selected and deleted, a message
pops up indicating there are cells protected. I've written a macro that will
disable the security, delete the rows, and enable the security again. Here
is what I need help with: If the user has not selected at least one row, an
error message will pop up directing the user to do so. Second (if possible)
to make sure the is within a named range: I have named the range A3:A20
"Name". If the row(s) selected does not fall in this range, I want the
delete macro to do nothing or return a message that indicates "The row(s) you
have selected is/are not available to be deleted".
