Default Excel 97-remove link but keep data

Hi guys,

I have a pre-existing excel 97 s/s which has links to other s/s's. I would
like to keep the data only (like paste-special, values) and remove the linked
reference from showing in the current s/s. Any ideas how to do this instead
of me changing each linked reference?
Thanks in advance!

search for .xls or [ or ] to see if you can find the formulas that contain links
to other workbooks.

Im not very technically minded so, I tried the simple yet effective approach
of PASTE SPECIAL, VALUES for the whole s/s. This did the trick superbly!

Thanks for your help.

But that did change all the formulas to values, right. If that's not a problem,
then this seems like a perfect solution.
