Word 2002 macro to protect all sections except most recent

I'm creating a Word 2002 document and I'd like to be able to write a
macro that will protect previous sections and start a new unprotected
section. I have tried several ways of doing this, but I am not
familiar enough with VBA to know the ins and outs of VB security.
Several users will be entering information (plain text) into this
document so I want a macro which will create a new section when the
user runs the macro, protects the section they had just worked on (and
possibly all previous sections if they need to be re-protected), and
saves the document. The idea is that only someone with the password
can edit work which has already been entered and is currently
protected to prevent tampering.

I have played around with this but I do not know enough VB to either
protect the newest section created or to possibly unprotect all
sections and reprotect all but the last section.

Any help you might be able to give towards a solution will be greatly
appreciated, even if the answer ends up being that it's not possible.

Thanks!
Greg
