SYMPTOMS
The readability statistics displayed after Word has completed a
grammar check may be incorrect, display zeros, or not display at all.
CAUSE
The following are possible reasons for the statistics being incorrect or
not displaying:
- The text being checked was formatted for all caps using CTRL+A,
SHIFT+F3, or by choosing the All Caps effect in the Format Font
dialog (Format Character dialog in Word versions 2.x).
- The text being checked is a one-line paragraph with no punctuation
mark at the end of the sentence.
- The text has been formatted for "No proofing" in the Tools Language
dialog (Format Language dialog in Word version 2.x).
- Readability statistics will be incorrect if Caps Lock was on while the
document was typed.
Word 2.x
- The entire text being grammar checked is formatted for superscript or
subscript (raised/lowered) character formatting. This is not a problem
if only part of the text is formatted as superscript or subscript.
