True, but that doesn't mean you can't use 'read-only' protection with the appropriate ranges marked as exceptions. In any event, you could take the opportunity to enhance what you've been given with content controls or formfields (not both in the same document).

What you can do depends on what kind of editing restrictions you apply. Word's 'filling in forms' protection is more restrictive than its 'read-only' protection, but the latter doesn't work with formfields.

Typo - 'read-only' protection.
It would be a lot easier to give applicable advice if we could see the actual document. Can you attach the document to a post with some representative content (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.
