Cee Bee Dee: I am completely self taught and consider myself not an expert but I do have vast experience using the full version of Acrobat, creating fields etc. and using the functions inside Acrobat. Your problem must be something either so simple or so complex that substantial reading online is unlikely to help. My suggestion is that you start by opening acrobat and creating a blank pdf file and save it as _____. Close the file. Close Acrobat. Go to the file itself and double click and open it. Then not using the prepare form function just create a couple of text fields naming them as you choose. Type something in the fields. Save it as _____. Then close the file. From still within Acrobat, from the file menu, click file open and open the file you just saved and see if your fields are present. If you can sucessfully do this, then click file open and open the pdf file you created from word and now do prepare fields. Go slow and read every step. If you do not save a document, Acrobat does not just close it. Instead, it asks if you want to save it. If you still have a problem, find someone who also has Acrobat and can get on the phone with you and do it together or even better, record the screen as you are working in Acrobat and save it as a video for someone to review.
