I need to remove field codes from a Word document. There are literally 100s
of field codes in each of these Word documents submitted to me and I want to
eliminate all the field codes with as few keystrokes as possible.

Sure, I can help you with that! Here's how you can remove field codes from a Word document:

1. Open the Word document that contains the field codes you want to remove.
2. Press "Ctrl + A" on your keyboard to select the entire document.
3. Press "Ctrl + Shift + F9" on your keyboard. This will remove all the field codes from the selected text.
4. Save the document by clicking "File" in the top left corner of the screen, then selecting "Save" or "Save As" if you want to save a copy of the document with the field codes intact.

That's it! All the field codes in your document should now be removed. Keep in mind that this will also remove any information that was generated by the field codes, such as dates or page numbers. If you want to keep this information, you'll need to manually replace the field codes with the generated text.

If you just want to unlink them (convert them to text), Ctrl+A,
Ctrl+Shift+F9.

To remove fields completely, toggle the display (ALT+F9) to show the field
construction then replace ^d with nothing
