Does it? Word Count counts pages, words, characters (with and without
spaces), paragraphs, and lines, but not sentences. But if Word tried to
count sentences, most users would not be satisfied because it would have to
count anything ending in a period as a sentence, which is what it does when
you use Ctrl+click to select a sentence, and this includes the periods after
abbreviations.

This feature already exists within Word, so there is no need for
you to suggest it to Microsoft.

fifteen sentences. If the word count feature could count sentences as
well, I
would not have to do it manually.
