Word fillable forms that are mobile device compatible
I can't find any recent info on how to make word fillable forms compatible for mobile devices (so they can be completed on mobile phone).
I've set up forms, and they are restricted for fillable entry only. They send via email and work on PC, but on a mobile, if opened through mobile word app, you can select but not input anything. If this worked if would save so many issues for me, but I've no idea if or how it can be done.
I have read some stuff on Infopath, but this is a little beyond me. Did try it but it would not import my word fillable template. Not really keen to redesign my many forms, if I don't need to and would rather reduce number of apps/add ons if possible.
Any advice?

I do not know that you can. If you remove the editing restrictions, you would be able to edit the form and fill it in. I do not know that checkboxes would work.
The mobile and online apps were developed as helper / adjunct programs for users of the desktop applications. See The different programs called Word offered by Microsoft - a pdf.
Same issue. I can here looking for available answers.
