Form fields rotate after copying/pasting

Question

Hello all, my first post to the forums.
I created a form template in Word/Mac, saved as PDF and brought into Acrobat 8 Pro/Mac to add form fields. Now I want to replace one of the underlying pages. Whenever I replace the page, all the form fields rotate 270 degrees. In addition, if I open up the field properties and switch the orientation back to 0 degrees, the text orientation changes but the size of the form field remains shifted (a vertical vs. horizontal landscape), meaning I would have to resize every field.
I've tried every way that I can think of to make this change, all with the same results...I've inserted a new page and copied and pasted the fields, I've copied and pasted from one document to another...I've replaced all pages of the form instead of just one page. I get the same results on different computers and with different versions of Acrobat (tried 7 and 8).
Can anyone help? According to Acrobat documentation, there shouldn't be any restrictions on moving or coping form fields and certainly, a 270 shift can't be normal behavior. I also tried rotating the whole document to see if I could work around the bug but no matter what the page orientation, the fields always rotate 270 degrees in relation.
If anyone could offer suggestions or work-arounds, I would really appreciate it. I'm faced with the distinct possibility that I will have to recreate 200+ fields every time I want to adjust the page underneath.
Thanks in advance, Angelique

I am merely posting this in my frustrations to Adobe in the hopes they read this article and realize it truly is a problem.

I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional (Version 7.1.0). I have some Word docs I created entirely in landscape format and inserted 1 document (multiple pages) at a time. The Words docs were created using table formatting and the layout was consistent across all documents - merely edited and used Save As for consecutive documents.

However, after inserting these docs into Acrobat 7 to add stamps and commenting, my stamps and comments do not copy and paste appropriately between pages. Some pages maintain the orientation, but others rotate the objects - stamps or texts boxes - 90 degrees counter-clockwise.

All of the pages were designed the same, inserted in the same way, and have maintained the same landscape orientation throughout. Yet the copy and paste mechanism does not paste the same between pages.

Please, please... allot someone to work on this issue.
