In Word, click on Tools | Options | Spelling & Grammar | check the "Show
readability statistics" box | OK. Then press F7 to rerun
spelling/grammar check, and when it finishes, a statistics dialog box
will appear that shows the reading level.

One way to count the number of times "to be" appears is to do a search
and replace. Click on Edit | Replace | More | Find what: to be | check
the "Find whole words only" box | Replace with: Special Find What
Text | Replace All. The number of replacements is the number of times
the "Find what" text appears.

Does WORD include a tool that allows one to see what reading level a document
is? Or, to determine how many times the verb "to be" is used within a
document?

Thanks -

What version of Word are you using?

I think you're clicking on Tools | Spelling and Grammar. If you click
on Tools | Options | Spelling & Grammar, you should see an option for
"Show readability statistics" to the left of the Settings button.
