Save a form without the form fields, but retain all formatting.

[Guest]

I'm trying to figure out how I can take a form, that has been filled in, and
save that as a document without all the form fields. I still want to retain
all the data and formating, so a paste special - unformatted text won't work.
The intent is to be able to use the document for other purposes without all
the form field baggage.

First unprotect the document. Then select all (Ctrl+A) and unlink the fields
(Ctrl+Shift+F9). That converts all the field results to plain text.
