Sounds like you are starting in Acrobat and then calling Designer from there. This technique will turn the doc into a PDF then will try and discover where fields shoudl go and place them there.
There is another technique where the document is interpretted and native objects in Designer are made. Depending on how well the document was created will dictate how good a job of translation can be done. You can use this technique by opening Designer first then doing a File/Open and choosing the Word Doc. A macro will run inside of Designer and will interpret your Word file. Your results will depend on the complexity of the original form. In using this technique each word, line, box becomes an XFA form object and can be manipulated in Designer (by hand or by code).
In the 1st technique only the fields that you lay on top can be manipulated. Try it and see if the conversion is acceptable to you. If so it will give us more flexibility in solving your issue.
Lets start there - can you send a sample converted form and I will have a look at possible solutions for you. If you are interested send the form to LiveCycle8@gmail,com
