Note that if the footer should only reflect text added to the document
(such as "version 3, created September 10, 2009"), you can apply a style
to that piece of text in the document and then, in the footer, insert a
STYLEREF field pointing to that style. That way, users wouldn't have to
edit the actual footer contents.

I am creating a template in Word 2003 which has 2 sections. The first
page
is Section 1 which is protected for form fields. Section 2 starting on
Page 2, comprises the rest of the document and is unprotected. I would
like to have a footer starting in Section 2 (on page 2) throughout the
document. This footer must be accessible and changed by the user for each
draft worked on. It seems that even if part of a document is protected,
the headers/footers are unavailable. How can I unprotect the footer
starting in section 2? Thanks!
