Thanks to Nancy and all who replied to my question. I had to read the preferences (have a Mac) to make this work in my version of Word, but I knew that there was a way to do this. A friend of mine has written a 210 page novel and I am trying to get a quick and dirty reading level. I had already counted the words. Thanks to all who replied (and if any one knows the best way to approach a publisher for a book that will appeal to boys (intermediate to middle school) that has a reading level of 3.8 (approximate), please let me know off list.) My friend has already purchased Children's Writer's and Illustrator's Market. Deb Hendrickson Deborah J.
