MS Word 2007 form fields won't convert into Adobe acrobat 9
I created a MS Word 2007 form with text fields. Saved it as a .doc. When I open it in Acrobat 9 using the forms wizard, it does not recognized the Word form fields. If I go into Word and remove the fields and add a top and bottom border under a fields label, Acobat will recognize the borders as a form field. Very strange.
Is anyone familiar with this situation? What am I doing wrong?

This form is in a test mode and I will likely need to edit the content several times with my form owner. It seems inconvenient for me to have to do it in acrobat because there is not a way for me to create the content in there. I would have to recreate the forms fields everytime.
have a look at livecycle form designer (on your start menu in windows)

I don't have it. Using the Pro version. that is an add on to the pro version, isn't it?

Glen pointed me into the right direction for a solution. He helped to unconfuse the situation.
You can still add form fields in the PDF manually.
