Microsoft Word-- Auto-Summarize feature can yield "surprisingly good" results.
Hello all,
It is quite impressive to find that the Auto-Summarize feature in Microsoft Word (version 97 or later) yields very good results in documents; whose content is mainly objective, and impartial in scope.
When setting Auto-Summarize to analyze five percent of the document, Microsoft Word is actually highlighting text that is has figured as top priority. When Auto Summarize is set to read ten percent of the text, WORD has figured this a a second-tier priority. Fifteen percent highlighted is a third-tier priority.
Again, with documents that are objective in content, it is not uncommon to find that a five to ten percent setting would encomapss a sometimes detailed title of the document. For documents that have abstracts/summaries, it is also not uncommon to find that a twenty-percent highlighting of text encomapsses a document's printed summary.
What has been the expereince of this newsgroup regarding the Auto-Summarize feature on content that is impartial in scope?
What is next from Microsoft; word-processing software that automatically organizes raw information into readable content??
Thank-you

[/nq] Where is this feature hidden? How long has it been there? I've used Word (not always by choice) for years professionally, and the first time I ever heard of such a feature was when Apple put it in the Macintosh (NOT in Word) two or three years ago.

There are a few posts in this thread regarding the use of Auto-Summarize to 'summarize the summaries.' It is most interesting when a 'summary of a summary' ends-up being the author's title, and even an author's abstract.
Word processing features like Auto-Summarize can compete with humans; through being impartial in its analysis. "Hmm, Can Auto-Summarize
