Why would they need a button, when triple-clicking would select the whole paragraph?

You also need to be aware that VBA has no idea what a grammatical sentence is. For example, consider the following:
Mr. Smith spent $1,234.56 at Dr. John's Grocery Store, to buy: 10.25kg of potatoes; 10kg of avocados; and 15.1kg of Mrs. Green's Mt. Pleasant macadamia nuts.


For you and me, that would count as one sentence; for VBA it counts as 5 sentences.

A button-based solution would require VBA.

So right now You have to copy the sentence, right click on it, copy to clipboard and then you can paste it.

Or you can copy it, Ctrl+V, then paste it.

I was just trying to make it so they didn't have to copy it, and then paste it. I am an Automotive instructor and there are certain sentences like "Working as designed at time of testing."

Right now they copy the sentence from word and paste it to the programing they use to fill out repair orders. I was just trying to make it easier for them. Where I could put a button or clipboard icon or something they could click instead of highlighting the whole sentence and then copying it.

I hope the above makes sense. I can rebuild an engine with every part disassembled in no order and scattered, but I have a hard time with things like this.
