Normally, updating RichTextFields in an opened IBM Notes document requires saving, closing and then reopening the document.

Another problem that is implicated with this is the necessity to save documents you do not want to save, yet. Fortunately, there is an undocumented method in LotusScript that enables us to update RichTextFields on unsaved UIDocuments without the need for saving and reopening them.
