Multiple selection in a table word 2013

Macros being out of your league isn't the main issue - with which we can provide help. The main issue is how you're going to implement the process for multiple users.

An alternative, non-macro, approach you might consider is having a series of independent dropdowns for the Work station column, so users can choose a number of Work stations that way.

I have put multiple combo boxes into the Work station column, and that is a perfect suggestion, by the way. My only issue now is how do I make the row height in my table stay constant with all the multiple boxes taking up real estate. I unchecked the the Automatic resize to fit content option in my table, but the row still shows up sized to allow for the multiple combo boxes.
Please see example document.

That's a necessary consequence of having multiple dropdowns; without them being displayed, you couldn't see what selection had been made.
