Why do my readability scores keep rounding?

[Guest]

Why do my Flesch-Kinkaid readability scores keep rounding to the nearest
whole number (ex: 4, 5) instead of to the nearest tenth (ex: 4.5, 5.6)? And
how can I get them to stop rounding???

Hi Christie Lynn,

What version of Word are you using and what are the steps you're following to get the readability statistics displayed in Word?

Hello,

I used Microsoft Office Word 2000 on a PC, although I recently installed an
Office 2003 software update (on the same computer) and I'm still having the
same problem. To get the readability I highlight the passage and select
Spelling & Grammar, which after it's done checking spelling and grammar
displays this info along with other stats (word count, sentences, etc...)
It's displaying the info I need fine, it's just that all the stats that are
displayed (inc. Flesch-Kinkaid readability) are rounded to the nearest whole
number and I don't know why. Thanks for any help you can give me!
