Here’s how you may quick find the readability score or the reading level of any document / piece of text in Microsoft Word. Go to File – Options – Proofing and under “When correcting spelling and grammar in Word,” check the following options: Check grammar with spelling. See what's new on the latest version of the Microsoft Edge browser. Explore features, rewards, and more before you download the new browser today.
Select grammar and writing style options. Example: He did not get a grade. See Choose how spell check and grammar check work in Word for Mac. Note: If you are choosing options for text that's written in a language other than your language version of Word.
The default configuration for Word will automatically check spelling and grammar as you type. By default it checks your grammar for 'standard' English. This includes, in addition to spelling, capitalization, negation, misused words, commonly confused words, use of passive voice, possessives, use of plurals, agreement in plurals and subject-verbs, relative clauses (e.g, that vs. which), and punctuation.

A more rigorous check can be selected for 'Formal' grammar.
If you wish to get the best benefit of the grammar checker, consider changing to 'Formal.' Especially for compositions for the English Department. Some of the grammar rules are perhaps unnecessarily rigorous for standard English, but you cannot go wrong to use them.
To modify your Grammar and Spell Checker defaults:
- 1. Open Word Preferences via the menu Word-->Preferences.
- 2. Select the preferences for Spelling and Grammar.
- 3. You can change the automatic checking here. For example, leave automatic spell checker on but turn off the automatic grammar checker, then set the grammar checker to run when you run the spell checker at the end of the paper.
- 4. You can change the rules to apply to your grammar checking by opening the dialog for 'Settings.' Here you can select 'Formal' checking, if you wish. Or turn on or turn off specific rules.
