VBA said:
Can you protect/unprotect a header/footer? Are these sections to
which one could apply .protect and .unprotect?
A header or footer is not a section, it's a piece of a section. However, if
the section contains nothing else, then protecting the section is equivalent
to protecting the header/footer. This is the basis of a known trick of
inserting a section break at the very beginning of a document and protecting
Section 1 in order to lock the header on the first page.
An alternative method, if security issues don't prevent using a macro, is
given in
