Shamelessly borrowing from the San Jose forum. Thanks to skneal for the directions:

"O.K. so if you are writing on word, there is a feature called Auto Summarize, under the tools tab.
If you click on it, a menu will pop up. Click on create new document, and make sure to click on the percentage box. (I chose ten sentences), then click ok."

Here's mine:

"Yeah. Glen. Worked hard. Bruce smiled. Sam. Bruce nodded.
Right. Sam nodded. Sam nodded. Bruce laughed.

Lots of smiling and nodding in my NaNo.

What can we extrapolate from YOUR auto summary?

I said San Jose Forum, I meant South Bay Forum. How rude. My apologies. I couldn't find the edit feature or I would have fixed it in the post.

@Karen - Thanks for posting this. Mine certainly gave me a laugh.

My ten sentence summary:

“Serena, please…”
The sex doll forums. "Hey, Grey! Never!"
"Serena."
I needed coffee. Ah, coffee. "Big Carl?"
Yeah. "Grey."

Wow, those are some short sentences. The longer version:

I never expected silicone dolls.
“Serena, please…”

I solve sex doll problems. "Pete, open the freaking door."
The sex doll forums. "Hey, Grey! Never!"
"Serena."
"Yes, Grey? Help! "Have a good time, Jose. Ah, couch. I needed coffee. Ah, coffee. "Big Carl?"
Yeah. If Big Carl could fit through the doorway.
"It doesn't work if you've never played Solitaire on your computer. "Grey."

Marie, never. Love? "Very well, Sister," Helene replied. Christine.
"Marie, please." "Marie." Marie started. Christine gasped. Hugo! Valentine! Edward felt ridiculous, but annoyed.
Edward was silent. "Genevieve!"

"Yes, young Edward Porter."
Genevieve."
Genevieve wondered. Edward! In time. Edward! "Well, sister."
