Last time I tested activedocument.fields.update it updated only the fields in the main text story. That should be sufficient for includetext fields.

If you want to update everything including headers and footers and footnotes and all that, use this. Tested in 2007 and 2010.

Sub UpdateAllFieldsEverywhere()
' updates fields in all stories, not just main text
'variable declaration
Dim story As Word.Range
For Each story In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
story.Fields.Update
Next story
End Sub
