remove mergefields, keep values

[Jim Zoupas]

Hi everybody,
I have a doc (word 2002) which has some merge fields. I cannot update them
since I'm missing the data source so all I want to do is to save the bloody
thing keeping the field's current values but removing the fields from it. The
only way i've found so far is to copy/paste special but if i do it for the
whole document I loose the formating, and if i start doing it for the 200+
field values it contains I loose my temper

PLEASE somebody help me.... it's not even my job to do it...

Thanx in advance
Jim Zoupas

Try selcting the document, or the relevant fields, and using ctrl-shift-F9
to "unlink" the fields.
