MS Word's Spell-Check can't even read English, so what hope does Flesch
Kincaid have???

Nonsense! You can add the readability scores by setting the option from
tools spelling and grammar or from a macro eg

Sub Readability()
r10V = ActiveDocument.Content.ReadabilityStatistics(10).V alue
r10n = ActiveDocument.Content.ReadabilityStatistics(10).N ame
rdiv = " - "
ReadScore = r10n & rdiv & r10V
MsgBox ReadScore
End Sub

G'Day Felix,

I like the (free) addin: "Bullfighter", see:
http://www.fightthebull.com/bullfighterfaq.asp AND
http://www.fightthebull.com/bullfighter.asp.

It works well with Office 2002 (Xp) and 2003.

It worked with B2TR, but I don't know about the final release of
Office 2007.
