Is it possible to create a word template that has a protected header? I need to create a template that has, for example, three titles, and these three titles should be protected. My users will not be able to
edit on those titles. Is it possible? I have tried out the Protect Document feature in word. I have added a few line of headers, then I drop in a Text Form Field... My headers are protected in this way, but there is no formatting in those text form field..... Is there another alternatives??

Put your "Titles" at the top of the page, not in the Header pane. After the last title, go to Insert>Break. Choose a Continuous section break.
Now go to Tools>Protect Document. Check to protect Forms and then click the Sections button and select just the section that includes the titles (Section 1).
The rest of the document will be unprotected, but the user will be unable to change your titles.
