Previously it was just all or nothing protection.  If we want to support Word
documents with partial protection where some sections are protected and others
are not, then the ALL protection (Protect Forms) needs to be turned off so that
LO native selective protection can be used. I don't think there are any other
options.

Well, sections are very different in Word, so direct comparisons aren't really
possible. I forced a section creation because without a section things didn't
protect properly, but with the other fixes from Serge, this might work now.  It
should be easy to do with just SectionPropertyMap::ApplyProtectionProperties
-  if ( !xSection.is() )
-      xSection = rDM_Impl.appendTextSectionAfter( m_xStartingRange );

But lets wait with trying that until Protect Forms actually works again (bug
124451)
