Yes, it is the same program. First, you have to set it up: Open Word and
open the document you want to assess. Then go to "Tools" on the menu bar.
Select "Options", then click on the Spelling & Grammar tab. Near the bottom
of that window, you'll see a "Grammar" section. Make sure that there is a
little check mark beside "Show Readability Statistics". Then click on OK &
run the Spelling and Grammar checker. When it is done with its spelling &
grammar checking, it will display a window with the grade level & reading
ease rating. (This is how you set it up for Word 2000 but I believe Word 95
& 97 is very similar).

Does this work for Microsoft word processing? Is that the same program? I'd
be interesteed in knowing how to do this.
