Word 2003 Can Summarize it for You
So, you get some long document or story and you want the executive summary of it (also known as the abstract). So you open the story in Word and go to Tools>AutoSummarize and you will get the screen shown here.
You can choose from four different options and it only takes a couple seconds to do it. Sometimes it does a great job. Other times Word totally misses the mark. What do you have to lose though? I especially like being able to use the, "highlight key points" option. That way the whole story is still there but Word is using it's intelligence (I know that is a stretch) to figure out the key words and paragraph structure to indicate the key statements for you.
