The V4RBReference.pdf says page 52 :
"If a VText field is indexed, then it is always indexed by words; so there
is no property ŒIndexByWords¹."

So I understand that setting the kV_IndexedByWord flag doesn't do anything
since there is no such property.

But I doesn't understand why you can have orphan segment doing that. Yes we
have to wait the master's return.
