How to make Cross-references plain text   

I have a very large document that I have hundreds of cross-references entered 
as links. I need to split the document up into chunks which may get separated 
thereby breaking the links in the file.

Is there a way to replace the links with plain text, without having to enter 
this manually. I am looking for someone who has a macro or knows how to do 
this.

Please help, this is rather urgent.

Dim afield As Field
    For Each afield In ActiveDocument.Fields
        If afield.Type = wdFieldRef Then
            afield.Unlink
        End If
    Next afield
