In case nobody comes up with any help, what I'd do is go into Word and record a macro of your placing form fields, from the forms toolbar, onto your document. Then stop the macro and go to tools->macros->visual basic editor and look at the VB script thus generated.

The commands will need to be translated from VB to VFP.

I'm assuming you know how to start word automation, eg:

loWord = CREATEOBJECT( [Word.Application])

Thereafter loWord.[operation] etc.

Now I'm no expert, not having automated Word, but I have automated some Excel, with a little help from the UT.
HTH

BTW, you're not related to our other Memphis law enforcement officer, John Harvey by any chance, are you? If not it's a helluva coincidence, and you've both got the moustache :-)
