Default fixed fill-ins in word document

Inevitably if you add text to a document it will reflow to accommodate that
text. The usual solution is to use a (borderless) table with fixed size
cells for your fields.

Hi,
Is there a way to have permanently fixed fill-ins in a lengthy
document w/ numerous fill-ins.
The documents have been scanned. When I attempt to fill in the
necessary information the following tabs move.
Is there a process w/in Word that will permanently fix the fill-ins.
Thus, providing the ability to tab to each of the following fill-ins
w/o moving the entire document?
There is no database involved in the fill-in information. It is all
type to fill.
In most cases the fill-ins are not grouped as you would find in
Excel. They are spread thoughout the entire document specific to that
particular paragraph.
I hope that I have explained my problem with some degree of sense.
