I am replying to the whole list since I have had several inquiries as to
just where in Word is the readability. You have to select the grammar
checking and go all the way through it, however, you can tell it to ignore
anything suggestions that it gives you. (You can speed this process up
also if I remember correctly by customizing the grammar checking to the
minimal amount). When you are done with the grammar check you will get the
whole speal (is that really a word?) on the readability.

Hope this helps!
