Readability Statistics in owrd

readability features in the word count are interesting one to pass at.

In Word 2013/2010, File>Option>Proofing
In word 2007, search for proofing option

Then under spelling and grammar section of the display menu, check the "Show readability statistics".
This will enable readability statistics.

A usual rule of thumb is that  the Flesch-Kincaid Grade (FKG) Level  should be around 10-12, and the Flesch Reading Ease should be between 60-70.
The FKG level is between 1-12, and represents how many years of US school is needed to understand the document.
There is also passive sentence score. While technical documents may be written with some passive statements, business documents are written with active sentences.
