Default Stripping Field Codes

this gave me some relief but I have 267changes to make in the template
(Employment Manual Outline) and the field code, {MACROBUTTON DoFieldClick
Progressive Integrations} creates a shaded field with the "Progressive
Integrations" in it. I would like to globally convert this specific
field/macro (all 267 of them) to just plan text.... is that possible?

If you don't want to lose the information contained in the fields, select
all and Ctrl+6 to unlink the fields, which converts them from fields to
normal text. If you want to strip the information contained in the fields
as well, instead do a global find and replace. Use "^d" for the find, which
is the find expression for fields, and leave the replace with field blank,
then click Replace All.

Is there any way to strip a document of all field codes, other than

showing all field codes and deleting them manually? Thanks!
