Mac Forum / Applications / Word / July 2006Readability statistics
In earlier versions of Word, I was able to obtain readability statistics without going through the recommended corrections in the document. It seems to have disappeared in Word 2004 (11.2)-at least I cannot find a way to turn off the corrections feature. I've gone into preferences and unchecked everything except "readability statistics," but to no avail. Any help would be most welcome. Thanks! AFAIK in 2004 you need to run Spell Check in order to produce the stats. Once the spelling errors are dealt with (corrected or ignored) running Spell Check immediately produces the stats.

That's true now, but I used to be able to bypass Spell Check and get the readability statistics immediately. I'm hoping to find out whether there's a way to bypass the Spell Check in Word 2004 > AFAIK in 2004 you need to run Spell Check in order to produce the stats. > Once the spelling errors are dealt with (corrected or ignored) running Spell [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > > > Thanks! Let me rephrase my response - In Word 2004 there is no way to do so. The only option offered in Word Help is by running Spell Check. I have also taken a close look at all the commands in Tools>Customize in the hope it could be added as a toolbar button or menu command... But couldn't even find a listing for anything that was appropriate. You may want to look for yourself - perhaps you'll have more luck. Whether it can be called by VBA I don't know.

Hey LTA, Perhaps what you're looking for is this: Word | Preferences --> Spelling and Grammar Under the "Grammar" section of the dialog, you'll see an option called "Show Readability Statistics". As the description says, after you run a Grammar check, the Readability Statistics dialog will appear with the info you're looking for.

Thanks for your reply, Jeffrey. I have no problem finding out how to obtain readability statistics. What I'm trying to do is obtain them without first having to have Word check my spelling and grammar. I used to be able to do that in Word 5.1. If you're involved w/ Microsoft Word, please ask them to restore that feature-the ability to simply evaluate readability wo/ wading through the document. > Hey LTA, > [quoted text clipped - 61 lines] > >>>> > >>>> Thanks! |
