Identifying form fields automatically when word doc is imported

Hi

I am trying to convert a word document template to a PDF template using Adobe Live Cycle. There are 7 tables in the Word document. I saved the doc as PDF using Word. When i imported the PDF into the Live Cycle Designer, the form fields ( table rows and cells) are not being identified. All are kind of static text.

However, when i opened the same PDF in Acrobat Pro, i was able to identify the form fields ( using Form > edit fields option).

Is there something similar available in Live Cycle Designer. Can the LCD identify form fields automatically.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks and regards
