Well, if they are missing, then they do not exist, which is why the are

I guess I should have clarified that grammar check is not notifying me of them missing. I have punctuation chosen in the preferences. It tells me when I need a comma etc, but not for periods.
Thank you for replying. I am new at this Word stuff, so do not really understand it all yet.

How can Word know that it is the end of a sentence? Seriously 
Sometimes it will guess from the grammar that something is wrong, but the
combination of <any letter>, a <space>, and <any letter> is not sufficiently
unique for Word to know for sure that that's supposed to be the end of the
sentence.
A human brain can do this quite easily from the context: but the brain is
still many orders of magnitude more powerful than the kind of computers that
you and I can afford.
Sorry: You will have to add your own full-stops
