Word Count provides a count of words, characters, lines, and paragraphs but
not sentences. Although a macro can be written to get a rough count, Word
can't necessarily distinguish between the period at the end of a sentence
and the period following an abbreviation. There must be some algorithm,
however, as the "readability statistics" are based to some extent on the
number of words in the average sentence, I think.
