Answer: How do I get the sentence count in a word document?
Hi Ian!
Getting the sentence count in a Word document is actually quite easy. Here's how you can do it:
That's it! The "Word Count" dialog box will now display the number of sentences in your document.

How do I get the sentence count in a word document?
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. -- Suzanne S.
