typetext is a method and background is a parameter. You need positions of them as stated in vbawrd8.hlp.

.selection.typetext("this is testing")
*PrintOut(Background, Append, Range, OutputFileName, From, To, Item, Copies, Pages, PageType, PrintToFile, Collate, FileName, ActivePrinterMacGX, ManualDuplexPrint)
* All params are optional - so you could only include background option
 .activedocument.printout(.f.)

Converted code :

appword = createobject('word.application')
with appword
   .visible = .t. && So we can see word app
   .documents.add()
   .selection.typetext("this is testing")
   .activedocument.printout(.f.)
endwith
