Update (F9) clears Form fields in word 2003.

Hi there

Is there a way to distinguish between form fields and document properties
placed inside a word document.

I have a javascript which opens a document via the ActiveXObject, and calls
the document.Fields.Update method.

The scenario:
I have a protectecd document, that is sent to a person, and this person can
only return information in the form fields.
I also have different custom doc_properties, that i want to update from
another script.

Whenever i run the document.Fields.Update, this also clears/blanks the Form
Field.

So my thoughts are:
It must be possible to loop through all fields in a document, and only
update the "doc_property" fields, but i have not found a way, yet.

Can anyone please help :)

Thanks,

Allan
