You should be able to do this if you insert section breaks before and after
the portion of text that should be editable.

How do I protect sections of the document with exceptions for others AND
the
Page Layout? I have sections I don't want edited but I want them to be
able
to edit th Page Layout.

If you are using Word 2003 or Word 2007, you do this to prevent people
from
editing the headers (and footers): In the Restrict Formatting and Editing
pane (Protect Document pane in Word 2003), click the check mark under
"Editing restrictions." Then choose the "No changes (Read only)" option.
Select the main body of the document and set it as an exception, by
clicking
the appropriate user names under "Exceptions (optional)"; in this case
you
would want to set an exception for "Everyone."

If you are using an older version of Word, see this article:

Is there a way to protect a section of a document like watermarks or
headers?
