Counting sentences

[Ulf Nilsson]

Hi,
How do I count the number of sentences in a document using VBA?

Hi again!
I just found the answer:
MsgBox ActiveDocument.Content.ReadabilityStatistics(4).Value

Hi

Good that you found there is another way to obtain that

ActiveDocument.Sentences.count, this will you you the nuber of sentences in
a document.

But as you might have observed, Doc.Sentences.Count is not the same as the
readability statistic. Sentences, in the object model, is a structural unit.
The readability statistic is intended to be a syntactic unit.

 

[Anand.V.V.N]

But, do both give the same result? like if a document contians say 100
sentences, will both give 100 or would there be a difference.

No, they don't give the same result. Almost invariably, Doc.Sentences.count
will return a larger number.

I've not tested it in detail, but yes, they are nearly always different.
Sentences.Count seems to be essentially a function of punctuation, while the
statistics count is looking at word sequences.
