Can I create a template with features that cannot be modified?

[Guest]

I would like to provide a Microsoft Word template for others in my office to
use but it is important that the information in the header and footer are not
modified by other users. Is there any way to "freeze" certain features
within a template (header/footer, text box) so that they cannot be changed or
deleted?

You can protect the header and footer, but often just putting stuff in the
header and footer (since they're a different layer) is protection enough.
See whichever of these articles is appropriate:
