1.Text field in text box does not update on Fields.Update( )

Hi,

I have a german word 2003 document that contains some (auto-) text
fields that get filled via a program (using Word's ActiveX interface).
After all text fields are set I call Fields.Update( ) method. All
fields get updated except the address field. This field is in a text
frame (not sure about the exact Word terminus beause I'm using a
german word version, maybe it's called text box).

Once the document prints, it gets updated automatically. Or by
clicking the field and hitting F9. But at first the user thinks that
something went wrong because he just sees "R_Address" (the field name)
in the the text box.

Is there any way to update this field with VBA/macro, too?

TIA,
Stefan

3.Update field codes in text boxes

Hello everyone,

I just discovered using "Cross-reference" for linking text to figures, and 
it's changed my life.  (Well, at least my Senior Design report.)

However, I noticed that all the captions I've placed in text boxes (when the 
figure has "Tight" text wrapping) do not update even when I use Ctrl+a and 
hit F9.  Is there any way to make sure they update as well?

Thanks,
Matthew Pfluger

4.How do I update field values inside a text box

Using CTL+A followed by F9 updates all fields except those in a text box.  
Currently I have to select each text box manually and then press F9 to 
refresh the field. 

Is there a better way?

5.Update field within a text box

I'm using Word 2007.

I created a template with a REF field in a text box that refers back to a 
bookmark created with an ASK field earlier in the document. When I create a 
new document using this template, all of the ASK and FILLIN prompts come up, 
but the REF field in the text box does not update automatically. If I click 
in the text box and hit F9, it will update, but I would like it done 
automatically. Is this possible?

TIA
David
