Adding Text Boxes to a Restricted Document

Question

I have restricted editing in my document (specifically to lock the header and footer), but made an exception for the body of the document. Why am I unable to insert text boxes into the body of the document, and how can I work around this?

If this approach will not work, is there another way to restrict the header and footer and not affect the rest of the document?
