split paragraph into sentences

You can do it with the free version of BBEdit. Do a search and replace with this criteria:

Search for: period + space

Replace with: /n/n

Then you can copy and paste the resulting separated sentences into any document you'd like.

You can also do it with the free Bean text editor app:

Now I understand what you are doing. Good for you! What a great technique. Here is a suggestion for when you are using Word or a word processor. Depending on the app and the version you are using. somewhere at the top of the page is an icon or button which you can click on to illuminate the end o paragraph sign. Doing this makes it easier to see where you have inserted an empty line (or space). It is there, or at the end of a paragraph that you can insert an additional line for the students to edit. Long story short, I suggest that you just play with your word processor to see how you can do what you want. You can also highlight text and then change its color for illustration purposes. Good luck.

I tried the BBedit and it didn't work for me. I don't know what I did wrong. It just literally replaced the period with /n/n. So the first sentence here would have been changed to: I tried the BBedit and it didn't work for me/n/n

Unfortunately the instructions were slight slightly off: It's not /n/n but \n\n

It would be helpful if you could tell us what program you are using to do this. What do you mean by "(or cells)"?
