there are many ways to identify and then break the links.
In your case, where you have a large workbook, and many links, I
would suggest the following:
Andrew's Utilities (Available at
http://www.andrewsexceltips.com/my_utilities.htm)
Choose the type of installation you prefer, and then under the
menu "Other", you will find an option to break external links.
It is a great productivity enhancer, and I'll gladly advertise it
for free!!!
