You may feel my goal is illogical, however all I want to do is have the sentence flagged. I don't use titles or dollar values in my papers so worrying about those breaking up my sentence word count won't be an issue. I also understand that hyphens and other punctuations can affect it. If I am ever in the situation where I actually do use titles or dollar values or anything that places punctuation in the middle of a sentence and not used to end the sentence I will be hyper vigilant and highlight those sentences to get an accurate word count. In the meantime I just wanted something that will help draw my attention to my sentences that are too long.
You recommendation worked.
Thank you for your time and assistance! It is greatly appreciated!
