I am an attorney and routinely move court forms into Word. This one I would leave as pdf unless I had a very specific reason to convert it. If I did, I would first try the approach suggested by Paul, opening the pdf in Word and letting Word convert it.

That would result in a document that would be very difficult to edit.

The alternative approach is to copy everything from the form and paste, as plain text, into Word and then format it in Word using styles (and tables). This will result in a document that is easier to edit.

The court is not going to want you to edit this much anyway. It may prohibit it.


The only reason I can think of to bring this into Word would be if you have some sort of case management system that can fill it out. Looks like a LOT of work, to me.
