Does this work?
Code:
ThisComponent.getTextFields().refresh()

So you want to know how I knew that I could do this? Remember that I wrote a book on this and in the process I spent a lot of time staring at the online IDL reference. Notice the progression. Start with a text document.

http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/text/TextDocument.html

The text document, according to the link above, is a text fields supplier.

http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/text/XTextFieldsSupplier.html

I will admit that a bit of a jump takes place here, but I obtained the text fields and inspected the object and also performed a goole search on "site:api.openoffice.org TextFields" and found

http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/text/TextFields.html

This in turn demonstrated that the text fields service supports the refresh() method.

http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/util/XRefreshable.html

I spend a lot of time using a search as mentioned above and inspecting objects. I describe the search process in my book and I also include a macro that inspects objects. The XRay object inspector is also a popular object browser that is available without purchasing my book.
