Chances that you get an official and authoritative answer on such a topic are, erm, pretty much negative (IMHO). If you want to pursue this, you'd first have to get hold of whoever in Microsoft owns (or owned) this feature back when it was introduced in Word (and I have no idea how many version you'd have to go back for this). Right now, the MSFT research page lists exactly two articles containing "Flesch-Kincaid:" http://research.microsoft.com/search...Kincaid&id=all HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |
