>>  Word has no clue what a "sentence" is...   <<

Isn't some concept of it implicit in the spell/grammar checker?  Some elements of poor grammar are violations of proper sentence structure.

Increase the size of a selection

F8 (press once to select a word, twice to select a sentence, and so forth)

What is this F8 doing?  I can't quite figure it out.  I tried it.  I still can't select a whole sentence by clicking once within the sentence.  I ususally hold down the shift key and use the L & R cursors to extend a selection.  But, I am pretty sure that I could click once and select a sentence.

Ah, I tried again.  If I select one word anywhere in a doc. then hit F8, the selection extends to the full sentence.  I was not selecting a word before.

THanks,
