Thanks for the question!
On your Readability level, make sure you do not have the text tagged with
'No Proofing' or a language you don't have installed. If you have, you will
disable all the proofing tools including the readability count.
Send me a copy of that document if you like, and I will see if I can find
the problem for you.

Microsoft Word Now, I am damn sure many of you were unaware that Microsoft word can provide you a list consisting of: The total word count, sentence count, paragraph count, character count and the most important part of our article the Flesch Reading Ease Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level and also passive voice.
Some MVPs (me, for example...) refer to the 'Forum' as 'The Electronic
Headless Chicken' because its behaviour is at times indistinguishable from a
chicken whose head has just been cut off.
Those who did not grow up on a farm may not realise that your average
serving of KFC began as a hen, and that if you cut the head off a live
chicken, the body will often run around in a random pattern for several
seconds. Eeeewww....
The forum is supposed to replicate posts out to the NNTP server where most
of the helpers are working. If you add to an existing thread, the forum
should replicate the whole thread out so we can get the context. It doesn't
usually work.
We recommend alternatives here:

Readability Test Microsoft Word Mac Download
When you’re writing a document, knowing how “readable” it is can be quite useful. There are two common tests that score readability (aka how difficult it is to understand your writing). Microsoft Word can calculate your readability scores right within the program, and it’s super easy to set up.
- Type up your document in Word. Then click on the File menu > Options > Proofing tab.
- Under the “When correcting spelling and grammar in Word” heading, you’ll see a box that says “Show readability statistics.” Check this box, then exit out of your options and go back to your document.
- Now, run a standard spelling and grammar check just like you would any other time. You will then be able to see readability scores based on two tests: The first is the Flesch Reading Ease test, and the second is the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level score.
- The higher the score on the Reading Ease test, the easier the document is thought to be to read. If your document is at least 60, it should be relatively easy to read, although you can aim for higher scores if increased readability is important to you.
- The grade level is equivalent to the reading level of students. An 8, for example, would mean that the material is appropriate for an 8th grader. If you hit somewhere between 7 and 8, it should be very readable for the majority of people.
