Default protecting a document: allowing form completion AND comments?

using Word 2007 on Windows XP

I have a document with six sections. The first section contains a form;
the rest of the sections contain the document that the form refers to.

Is it possible to protect my document in this way:

.. section 1: the user can fill out a form
.. sections 2-5: the user can add Comments

It seems that I can only protect the document to enable either filling
out forms -or- the entering of comments. I can't figure out how to allow
both actions or, alternatively, allow one action in one section and
another action in a different section. Is that possible?

Before I lock the document, I can turn on Track Changes and then protect
the document to enable the forms. However, my reviewers will want to add
Word Comments v. inserting a comment as a tracked change.

Is there a way to do this?
