Default Auto update field issue

I am working with Word 2003. I have to create a large document by
pulling in various files (each file is from 1-15 pages long). Each file
becomes a section in the document. Each section has a footer that
consists of fields from original files. After the document is created I
have to print it, but I don't want to update fields - I want to keep
the original values. Option Update fields is turned off (Tools,
Options, Print tab), but Word still updates them when I try to print
it. I also tried selecting whole document (CTRL + A), and then pressing
CTRL+SHIFT+F9 to convert fields to regular text, and it worked for text
in the document, but not footers. I can select text in footer of every
section and then change fields into text, but is time consuming. Is
there any way to select ALL text (including footers in all sections) in
one or two steps?

Thanks!
