Default Protect but Allow Edit Ranges in Multiple Sheets

Hi, there!

Can anyone please help with a solution to the following problem:

I have 20 similar workbooks with exactly the same worksheets that are just
named differently. For example, Workbook 1 is East Division, and the sheets
are New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts - they are exactly the same sheets.
Workbook 2 is South Division, and the sheets are Florida, Alabama, Kentucky -
again, same sheets as in East Division, etc.
Here is my question. Is it possible to create a macro that would
simultaneously allow users to edit range B1:B32 in each of the sheets AND
protect each of the sheets within a workbook? Would this macro be applicable
to all of the other 19 workbooks.
Please help! I can't imagine having to go into each of the sheets in every
workbook and manually set up "allow user to edit range" and "protect sheet"
modes. It'll take me forever.

Thank you in advance!
E.P.
