Ctrl/Shift/F9 does the delink.
Your strategy will then be either
. Select all and delink. This will work if there are no other fields you
want to delink.
. F11 to find the first, then delink. Then F11 until you find a picture,
then F4. Repeat repeatedly. (F4=3Drepeat the last action, which is =
delink
in this case. Use this to avoid needing to hit Ctrl and Shift.)
. The second method involves just two fingers once you get going, so
will be good for a few dozen images. If there really are lots of images,
write a little VBA to automate this procedure. The VBA will need to
check whether it's about to delink a picture or something you want to
preserve.

But I can't resist suggesting you just make a PDF.
