Grade level calculation in Word

[Shaman]

I know that office 2000 had a way of calculating the grade level understanding of a document. Is there any way to do this in 2K3?

I don't know if 2003 is the same but for Office XP: Perform a spell check. When the spell check window is up make sure "Check Grammar" is checked. Click "Options" and down at the bottom is the check box for "Show readability statistics". Check that. It will show you those scores after the spell check completes.

Klaymon's method still works in Office 2003. Make sure you purposely spell at least one word incorrectly, though, or you'll never get to see the window he mentions. You can also turn that feature on simply by clicking Tools->Options->Spelling and Grammar and checking the 'Show Reabability Statistics' box. Then do a spell check (F7).
