How does the Auto Summarize option work in Word?

Asked By Barb Brennan 20 points N/A Posted on - 12/24/2014

I understand that the auto summarize option in Word can identify the key points in the document and create a jist out of it. How does Word find out which sentences are important? On what basis are these selected? How do I add the auto Summary option in my tool bar? How can I cancel an auto summary in progress?
