Unprotect header in protected Word documents

We have some templates at work, created by someone no longer there, that have various sections of the document password protected, including the header. I'm more of an Excel guy, so less adept with Word.

I thought I had figured out how to unprotect the header, but when I do it appears the rest of the document is protected...instead of just the sections that had been. Is the header a section unto itself or what am I missing? Would I have to start from scratch in protecting only those sections again?

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
