Create Auto-Summaries for Word 2007 Documents

Seeing a giant Word file arrive in your inbox can leave one feeling like it’s the last chance to cram before a test—you just want to find the portions with relevant information in them, in context. The How-To Geek blog shows how to use Word 2007’s AutoSummarize feature, creating a new document that scores sentences by the occurrence of certain words and using whatever percent of the original’s length you want. It’s a mighty helpful tool for students, and for anyone whose co-workers tend to, say, get lost in their own verbiage.
