Mike:
I think you can print this screen to the clipboard
by ALT PRINT SCREEN, and use it as a graphic.
Load the text files in as ASCII, but be aware that
Word will cound each hard line return as a seperate sentence.
You have to have a single line return at the end of a paragraph
to get a good count.
