XSL-FO, not FOP.

Not quite. Our tool works as explained here:

http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/how_it_works.html

Simply in your case, the XSLT stylesheet which generates XSL-FO out of 
DocBook comes from the Docbook  XSL Stylesheets 1.77.x opensource project.

No offense intended, but if you don't know what is the XSL technology, 
you are loosing your time with our product. You'd better look for 
another product based on a different technology.

No.

Our tool translates XSL-FO to a .docx file (among other formats). The 
feature you need (generate word *fields*) cannot be expressed using 
XSL-FO. Therefore our tool does not support it.
