The obvious answer is, "Extract the most important facts and put them
together in the appropriate location."

You can experiment with the AutoSummarize command on the Tools menu,
but you'll probably find that creating a summary of a document
requires a human touch.

Structured documents, with key sentences placed in the text, can be
summarized in a semi-automatic way: you could use either copy and
paste or bookmarks and cross-references to put those sentences
together at the location of your summary.
