Example

This example keeps references to form fields in Form.doc from being automatically updated whenever the form field is exited.

For Each aFField In Documents("Form.doc").FormFields
    aFField.CalculateOnExit = False
Next aFField

This example adds a text form field and a REF field in a new document. Whenever text is typed and the Text1 field is exited, the REF field is automatically updated.

With Documents.Add
    .FormFields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldFormTextInput
    .Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldRef, Text:="Text1"
    .FormFields("Text1").CalculateOnExit = True
    .Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields
End With
