I tried your macro, Charles Kenyon. But Word went into complete hang

Try the following on a _copy_ of your document. AFAIK it unlinks all
fields
in a document, regardless of whether they are in the body of the
document or
elsewhere. Please report back on your results.

Dim oStory As Range
On Error Resume Next
For Each oStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
Do
oStory.Fields.Unlink
Set oStory = oStory.Next
Loop Until oStory Is Nothing
Next
End Sub
