Next ffLoop

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
