That doesn't work so well Jezebel.

Consider:

How did Mr. Smith get to Washington?

That is not two sentences.

I suspected this might be available through the readability
statistics, but (short of VBA) there's no way to access those
without checking grammar, which is a huge PITA.

Look at readability statistics. ToolsOptionsSpelling and
Grammar and check Show readability statistics. Consider the following:

Did Mr. Smith go to Washington? I don't know Mrs. Jones; you will
have to
ask Mr. Smith.


ToolsSpelling and Grammar.

Words: 18
Characters: 71
Paragraphs: 1
Sentences: 2

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.
