Default Word cannot update the index

As far as I can see you get that when you set the form fields to "Calculate
on Exit" and it doesn't look as if there's much you can do about it if you
have to have Calculate on Exit - e.g. putting the Index in an unprotected
section isn't enough. (You seem to be able to use exit macros OK, but then
that's a different thing).

Could you do something like programmatically change the { INDEX } field so
it is e.g.

{ SET INDEX whatever }

then when the form is complete, programmatically change it back to {
INDEX }? Haven't tried it, but it's the only thing I can think of right now.

"Word cannot update the index" is an error when I create an Index and a
form
in the same document. When I protect the form and write any value at the
form
controls, this error happens.
Is there a solution to that?
