Reset multiple images' clipping paths to "None"

Question

In InDesign CS4, is there a way to check all images at once and reset their clipping paths to "none?" I work on catalogs that have several thousand photos (tif, Photoshop, and a few jpg files) in each one. We break the catalogs into approximately 10 sections/documents then organize them into a book file/palette, so there are only a few hundred images in each section/document. Originally a clipping path was applied to the photos (either a Photoshop clipping path or a "detect edges" path), but we now save them with transparency, so I'd like to be able to turn them all of at once (especially the "detect edges" paths).
Any suggestions? I know basically nothing about scripting, so writing a script wouldn't work in this case.
I appreciate any help...
Thanks,
Lloyd

I'm not sure.
Isn't it a collection up to this:
docs[l].rectangles.everyItem().images.everyItem()
from this point it's got a length:
docs[l].rectangles.everyItem().images.everyItem().clippingPath
So this works here:
#target indesign
function main() {
          var docs = app.documents.everyItem().getElements(),
                    l = docs.length;
          while(l--) {
                    try {
                            cPaths =  docs[l].rectangles.everyItem().images.everyItem().clippingPath;
                            pl = cPaths.length;
                            while(pl--){
                                cPaths[pl].clippingType = ClippingPathType.NONE;
                    } catch(e) {
                              alert(e);
                    alert('All done! You can go outside and play now!')
app.doScript('main()', undefined, undefined, UndoModes.entireScript, 'Reset Clipping');
