Default Selecting and deleting all Object Anchors


In this document I'm editing, there are multiple object anchors and way too many to click on each one and delete.

Some of the anchors are in the middle of some text and I can't even select them with the mouse.

Is there a macro which could do this for me? I've made a search, but so far have come up empty.

If you delete the anchors, you delete whatever they're anchoring as well!
