Assessing a document's reading level

[Art Campbell]

So far as I know, there aren't any FM plug-ins that do this, but
bullfighter at http://www.fightthebull.com/bullfighter.asp is great
for Word files (and FM saved as .rtf).
You have to make a few adjustments, for instance if you don't end
bullet list items with periods so they're viewed as sentences, but
otherwise, it's useful. Especially useful for giving to non-writers.

My only idea is to convert to RTF  and use Word's spelling/grammar checker to get the reading ease and  grade level scores. Ideally, there would be a plugin to provide this  for FM? At this point, I'm not picky about whether it could   provide  Flesch Reading Ease or Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level scores  or both - anything is better than nothing at all. ;-)
