The easiest way to do this is to scan a copy of the form into a PDF.

Then, download and install Adobe Acrobat Pro (the trial version), and use the form wizard to create the fields for you.

You can't save them by default (well, you can for the life of the trial), but you'll be able to fill it out and print the form using the regular PDF Reader.

Or you can use the "Forms" toolbar in Word.

I think my dad may have the full version of that program. I will have to ask him and explore that option.

It would actually be better just to either print from within Word to PDF (or use the Distiller engine). Then edit it in Acrobat to add the form fields. No point in printing out the Word document to hard copy, and scanning it in via a scanner to PDF, introducing scanner noise.

I actually meant the original form, not the one he created. I figured that would keep the formatting as close as possible to the original, making the fiance happy, which furthermore makes the OP happy.
