You would have to export all of the records from the database and 
then import them into a new database, omitting the notecards and 
abstracts in the process.

One way would be to export using the PAPX format, telling Papyrus to 
list out all references but not their notecards. Then you could 
create a new, empty database, copy the PAPX format from the 
IMPORT.FLB format library, and modify this copy of PAPX to ignore the 
contents of the Abstract field. Finally, use this modified version of 
PAPX to import the references.
