If you are using content controls for the data entry places in the document, do not use the Restrict Editing pane to protect the document. Instead, insert an empty paragraph mark at the end of the document; then select everything except that last paragraph mark and click Group > Group in the Developer ribbon:

That inserts an invisible Group content control around the selected text, which prevents editing of anything that's outside the entry controls but still inside the Group control. Users will be able to add or edit anything at the final paragraph mark, including page breaks, section breaks, text, pictures, etc.
If you're determined to stay with legacy form fields, the equivalent is to insert a section break (either Continuous or Next Page) at the end of the form. Set the editing restriction to "Filling in forms". Only when the document contains two or more sections, the "Select sections..." link appears. Click the link and, in the dialog box that opens, clear the checkbox for the final section.

The main drawback of legacy forms protection is that it disables many of Word's useful features, even in the unprotected section(s). For example, you won't be able to insert text boxes or bookmarks or run a spell check as long as the restriction is turned on.
