how to disable the automatic links at opening in msword2013

I have a lot of word 2003 documents with many links to acad drawings.

When i open these documents in msword 2013 all the acad links are opend one by one so that it takes serveral minutes to open such a document which is very enoying.

The option "update automatic links" is disabled and all the links are set to manually update. Despite all that all links are still opend when i open a word document.

Does someone know a solution so that this automatic opening of the acad links no longer occurs?

You could try using Ctrl+a to select everything in the document and then use Ctrl+F11 to lock the fields before you save it.  Then, if you want to unlock the fields to update them, use Ctrl+a again and then Ctrl+Shift+F11
Hope this helps,
