Hi Suri,
Instead,
Once you completed design in ms word , you can import a Microsoft Word XP or Microsoft Word 2003 file into LiveCycle Designer. The Word file can be a document (DOC), a template (DOT), or a rich text format (RTF) file.
LiveCycle Designer displays the file import options each time you import a Word file. there you will select doc or rtf or dot.
To import a Word file:
1. Select Tools > Import.
2. From the Files Of Type list, select Microsoft Word Document (DOC, DOT, RTF).
3. Navigate to the file that you want to open, select the file, and click Open.
4. In the File Import Options dialog box, type a password if it is needed to open or unprotect the file.
5. To substitute any missing fonts and suppress all font substitution error messages, select Ignore Missing Fonts.
6. To convert and embed any images into the form design, select Convert Images.
7.Select a logging option from the Generate Log File list.
8. Click OK.
