[libreoffice-users] Converting references to non-reference text in LibreOffice Writer: the dumbest possible way?!

I have LibreOffice documents (written in 3.2/3.3) with extensive field
cross-referencing to numbers of tables, numbered paragraphs, numbered
sections and chapters, etc. Conversion to Word often messes those up
so I wanted to change them all to text. Now, in Word one could just
highlight the whole text, press CTRL+SHIFT+F9, and be done with it. In
LibreOffice, the help says, I have to convert every field into
unformatted text with Paste Special ... Whoever  programmed this has
got to be kidding me? Am I really supposed to go through a document
one field at a time and update every one on its own, plus I have to
figure out the right order because if I do that from the beginning of
the doc, changing one changes the numbering of everything etc. after
it ... Is there srsly no better way? Any pointers or changes in
LibreOffice would be much appreciated!
