Hi,

How do I make this MS Word macro apply to an entire document, rather than
just a paragraph? I need it to count the number of sentences in the whole
document. I have only basic knowledge of macros and the editor, etc. Also, is
it possible to count the number of paragraphs by cloning this macro and
changing it to do that? Using Word 97. TIA. Jainagirl

Public Sub NumberOfSentences()
Dim sNumberOfSentences As Long
sNumberOfSentences = Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Sentences.Count
MsgBox sNumberOfSentences & " Sentences", _
vbInformation, "Number of Sentences"
End Sub
 
Public Sub NumberOfSentences()
Dim sNumberOfSentences As Long
sNumberOfSentences = ActiveDocument.Range.Sentences.Count
MsgBox sNumberOfSentences & " Sentences", _
vbInformation, "Number of Sentences"
End Sub

Jainagirl,

Do you have to use a macro? If not, tools > word count... will also give
you a count of the number of paragraphs in the entire document.

Hope this helps,
Dan
 
Hi,

Yes, I do need a sentence count as well as a word count. I'm a writer and I
often write copy for websites for clients and sometimes there is a number of
sentences requirement.
