How can I convert every email hyperlink icon in a '.docx' file to simple text?

[VuduBalls]

Currently, each email address in the document is behind a hyperlink that's represented by a small white envelope icon (I've attached a picture). I need a contact information sheet that I can print; I need to keep the same text and formatting, and replace the icon with the email address in plain text. I can right-click and choose 'edit hyperlink', copy the email address that's shown, then highlight and paste over its icon, but there are over 1600 of these hyperlink icons...

I'm actually moving all of this information over to an excel file so if anyone knows how to do this via excel or word, either would work, and it would save me DAYS of mind-numbing, carpal-tunnel-inducing data migration.

Thanks!

Yeah I think I had a bad URL or something, first thing when I get to the office tomorrow I'll upload the pic to a different host and post the link. But for now here's a link to a yahoo answers post that I made where you can see the pic:

To upload a sample document, use a file hosting website like www.mega.nz or something like google drive, onedrive, etc. and post the links here. For some reason, yahoo answers doesn't want to work today. I keep getting "Connection Timed Out" Errors.

Here's a link to the sample document that I just put together demonstrating exactly what icons I'm trying to get rid of. Please take a look and let me know if you find a way to translate them to plain text.

Whether or not you have any luck, I really appreciate the help. Thanks!

Copy and Paste the Excel user defined function below:

Sub ConvertHLShapes()
Dim shp As Shape
Dim sTemp As String

For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
sTemp = ""
On Error Resume Next 'go to next shape if no hyperlink
sTemp = shp.Hyperlink.Address
On Error GoTo 0
If sTemp <> "" Then
shp.TopLeftCell.Value = sTemp
shp.Delete
End If
Next
End Sub
