Flesch Reading Ease

[Anissa T]

Okay, so everytime I do a spell check on my work in Microsoft Word, it gives me this Flesch Reading Ease score.

Does anyone know what that is or how to interrpret it? I've had tons of English/Lit classes and never heard of it.

Just curious.

Is that in Office 2007?

Well, I have Office 2003. So, it is probably in Office 2007 as well. I don't see why they would have gotten rid of it. If I'm not mistaken, you have to activate your word count in order for it to pop that up.

OK, well I've got 2003 aswell, and never seen that (word count active)

Interesting. I highlight the text, do a spell check and word count. It pops up a stats window with the following:

Interesting I don't get that, might be cause I have the Dutch version of Office.

I was just wondering if they had different versions......LOL!
