You've not missed anything.  There is no change event associated with legacy formfields, so what you are after is not possible using formfields.
 
You could evoke a userform OnEntry to the first legacy form field in the series that you could use for filling out a series of numbers and use the change event of the userform text fields to advance to the next one.   Then use a command button to close the
userform and populate the document formfields.
