Is this for use in Word 2002?

Tools for forms (Content Controls) are much simpler in Word 2007 and later.

I see your answer to that is "yes."

Paul is right, you do not need macros or vba. You do need patience.

The simplest way to make answers stay put in forms is to put the form into a Word Table.
4. Use Tables and Tabs to Arrange Text in Microsoft Word

To insert form fields, you need to use the Forms Toolbar (View menu).

To make it work, you will want to protect the document (Tools menu).

This is far from simple. Read the articles linked by Paul, or at least skim them.
My article is one of those. Making Forms with Microsoft Word
That article has been a work in progress for more than a decade and is still not complete. However, Dian Chapman's articles are linked in it under additional resources and may be the best source of information. The links are to archived versions of the articles.
