when one of the sections in word file is protected, i am unable to insert
text box in other sections. when protection is enabled, so many options are
automatically disabled. textbox is one of the feature which is disabled when
protection is enabled.

how to add textbox in the sections which are not protected

Protection imposes limitations. You can probably create a macro to perform
the task, but for documents that require free editing, protected forms are
rarely the answer. Investigate instead userforms, which together with
docvariables are a simple way of gathering and inserting the data whilst
leaving the document free to edit.
For the basics, see Word MVP FAQ - Userforms
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms.htm

for a more in depth explanation, see
