You are right; to protect part of a document, you need to divide it
into sections.

I'm not sure why you want to remove the section break, but that can
certainly be tricky. For instructions, see:

The reason that I have a section break in the document is that I
want to
protect the first part for filling in forms and let the next part be
open.
The only way to do that is to insert a section break, or? If I then
remove
the section break in the document, the header is removed.

Don't even try to use a Continuous break for this. Instead, check
the
"Different first page" box on the Layout tab of Page Setup and put
your
header for the first page in the First Page Header and the header
for
following pages in the Header. For more on this, see

I have a document with different header on first page. In the
document,
not
in the header, I have a continue section break. When I remove
the section
break, the header is removed.
