Immutable Text Sections in LibreOffice Writer

Suppose you have a document in LibreOffice Writer, and you need to prevent changes to one or more sections.

Easy.

Say this is your document:

This text needs to be immutable.
This text does not. 

 Highlight the first section you need to be unalterable:

This text needs to be immutable.
This text does not. 

Then go to Insert / Section. In the "New Section" field, change "Section1" (if you so desire) and rename it to something like "Immutable 1". Then tick the "Protect" box, and finally click on Insert.

That line of text is now unchangeable.

And if you're an emacs fan, emacs can do this also by changing the Properties of the text to read-only.
