Default readability statistics question

How do I set the reading level in readablility staistics? How do I make sure
that I dont exceed that limit? Also, can I set word so that I don't exceed
2000 words in my report?

Hi Candace,

Word provides tools to advise you of the current
count of Words in your document and to check the
readability level (type 'readability scores'
in the help box to see an explanation of the supported
scoring systems) when you activate that choice in
Tools=Options=Spelling & Grammar

Word doesn't include tools to prevent you from exceeding
either. There are a number of websites that can help
with better writing, including this one.

Re. the word count, if you are using Word 2003, there is a facility to put a
floating 'wordcount' tool bar on the screen.. it doesn't do running totals,
but does put up the message to hit 'recount'..

Re. readability, I will leave that to someone who actually uses it.. I did
years ago when using Lotus Amipro, but have little experience with Word in
this respect.. there are many settings in there, and much of what I type
would probably not make it through..
