SUMMARY
=======
 
SHIFT+F7 (previous sentence) selects the current sentence unless the
cursor is on the first character; if that is the case, the previous
sentence will be selected. SHIFT+F8 (next sentence) always selects the
current sentence, regardless of where the cursor is located.
 
SHIFT+F7 and SHIFT+F8 actually select the sentence to the left or
right of the cursor. If the cursor is in the middle of a sentence and
you press SHIFT+F7, the current sentence is selected because the
current sentence is also to the left of the cursor. If you press
SHIFT+F7 once more, the next sentence to the left is selected. The
same holds true for selecting the sentence to the right of the cursor
by using SHIFT+F8.
 
In Word version 5.50, ALT+F8 selects the next sentence or the
sentence the cursor currently occupies. There is no keystroke to
select the previous sentence.
