Default Turning off cross-reference feature

Is there a way to just turn this feature off? I inherited a document, and I
want to get rid of these cross references, but I don't want to have to delete
each one individually.

Thanks,

Press Alt-F9 to display field codes, then use Find and replace to delete the
fields you don't want. ^d is the search string for 'field'

Default Turning off cross-reference feature

If you would like to convert all your cross-references to plain text, then
you can CTRL+A to select the entire document and then press CTRL+SHIFT+F9.
Caution - this process will convert All your fields to text, not just the
cross-references, so all Tables of Contents, etc. will be converted.
