You can unlink the field(s) in the selection by pressing Ctrl+Shift+F9.

If you are saying that you want to use VBA to work with the field result,
you had better enclose the field in a bookmark before unlinking it. Then you
can access the contents of the bookmark via a macro. (Dependning on what you
want to accomplish, there might be a better approach, though.)

Hi All, .
How does one make selected field information that's been inserted into a
document become ordinary text? For example, I'd like to programmatically
use and modify the FILENAME after its insertion for purposes other than
changing the name of the file.
