positioning of blocks

I need to position blocks at very specific places on a page.  These blocks
corespond to the location of fields that need to be filled in on a form
which was originally just paper based.

Can I get an example of how I might use absolute or relative positioning to
achieve this?  Or do I need to do something else?

Thanks.

Use Block Containers

here is an example

               <fo:block-container height="225pt" width="275pt" top="45pt"
left="60pt" padding="3pt" position="absolute">
                  <fo:block>
                        <xsl:call-template name="LEGEND"/>
                  </fo:block>
               </fo:block-container>
