Well, that's certainly interesting. Thanks. Not that I would've minded there
being just a real key press that meant "to end of sentence," but this is a
clever workaround, as I see it, and by gosh, I guess it'll have to do. :-)

the trick with Extend Select mode in Word is that you can punch a key and
select all the text up to that character. So hit F8 to turn extended Select
Mode on, then hit a period, and you've selected up to the end of the current
sentence. You can repeat this keystroke as often as you want to select
consecutive sentences, and you can use any other keystroke and keep
extending the selection.
