Default Protect Header and Footer from editing

Hi! I have created a custom heading and footer for a Word Document Template.
I have distributed the template @ my work place and it works wonders, but I
cannot get the header and footer (the company logo, company info, and other
related text) to be protected from been edited.

I have tried the: Tools - Protect Document - Limit formatting to a
selection of styles - Unchecked Header and Footer from the list, and then
enabled the protection with a password. This have not worked for me.

Any other ideas of how to protect the heading and footer of been edited.
Thanks!

Click TOOLS in the menu and select PROTECT DOCUMENT and in the task pane,
under FORMATTING RESTRICTIONS, click SETTINGS.

You can then cherry pick what can be edited by a user.

If a macro solution is acceptable, see

Hi ?B?RGlvc2h5?=,

I have tried the: Tools - Protect Document - Limit formatting to a
selection of styles - Unchecked Header and Footer from the list, and then
enabled the protection with a password. This have not worked for me.

The protection pane does offer another possibility:

Try selecting all the text in the document (Ctrl+A). Then in the second
section of the task pane, set the protection type to "Read only" and activate
the checkbox next to "Everyone".

This should allow the user to work more or less normally in the document
body, but not let them into the header/footer area. The only limitation you
should notice is that the Drawing tools aren't available and the user can't
work with any graphics that have text flow formatting. The old frames are
still available though, and graphics can be inserted into those to allow text
flow.
