I use Adobe at home, but we don't have pro at work and I need to create a
form in Word that's editable, but I want to make it form. I'm not sure how
to incorporate fillable feilds for Name, SSN, and other personal data, but
then I want to have "check boxes" to select items. Please Help!

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and
especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.

But note that a form created in Adobe Acrobat Pro should be fillable using
Adobe Reader, which you surely have at work.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,
