Not sure what you tried already... Did you display field codes (either in
Tools > Options > View, or using ALt+F9)?
If you then see INCLUDEPICTURE fields, you can remove the \d switch, then
update fields (F9) and save.

Or you could get rid of the fields altogether by unlinking them (...select
the picture, Ctrl+Shift+F9), though that would be permanent, and I'd
probably rather just remove the switch.

That isn't what Klaus suggested. If you want to process the whole document
in a single operation then you are going to have to use a macro to
selectively unlink the INCLUDEPICTURE fields eg

Sub ChangeField()
Dim strCodes As String
Dim iFld As Long
For iFld = ActiveDocument.Fields.Count To 1 Step -1
With ActiveDocument.Fields(iFld)
If .Type = wdFieldIncludePicture Then
.Unlink
End If
End With
Next iFld
End Sub

or remove the \d switch eg

Sub ChangeField2()
Dim strCodes As String
Dim iFld As Long
For iFld = ActiveDocument.Fields.Count To 1 Step -1
With ActiveDocument.Fields(iFld)
If .Type = wdFieldIncludePicture Then
.Code.Text = Replace(.Code.Text, "\d", "")
.Update
End If
End With
Next iFld
End Sub
