Partially protect a Word form

I have a 1-page Word form template with 2 sections.

I will fill in the first section and then send the document to a user. I want this section to be locked out to the user after I fill it out and before I send it.

I want the user to be able to only enter data in the fields in the second section of the form.

 

 

Thanks for your help!

Which kind of protection? If this is "Editing restrictions" specified in the Restrict Formatting and Editing task pane, you can insert at least once section break and then choose which sections that you want to be protected.
