I agree with Andrew. Seems the logical starting point would be with styled headings and then autosummarize for each heading. Even taking the first sentence of the following paragraph would be a good start.

Mac users can try a similar thing in any application by selecting a block of text, then choosing Services->Summarize from the main application menu (e.g. Safari->Services-Summarize in Safari.) Not quite as featureful, but it’s built right in to OS X and should work with any selectable text anywhere.

I just found this as I was killing time before writing the executive summary for a 50 page business analysis.

I am sorry to say, but it does not really work. It did not even really help as a starting point.

It did not even break the paper up by headings, which is the most logical way.

I am kinda sad, that it could not knock this out for me,

I haven’t gotten it to work in Office 2007 either. No matter, at least in Office 2003, it was miserable at what it did. I’m sure there was a lot of grammatical and syntactical logic in it, but it just never really found the key points – at least not with much greater accuracy than you’d expect. If you highlighted 25% of the document, it got maybe 35% or 45% of the important stuff. Better, but not worth using.
