How to score a document's readability (Flesh-Kincaid style) with pages?

Hey all,
I am writing some manuals for work, trying to keep them accessible to readers below a certain grade level. I know that with MS Word, you can determine your document (and even a paragraph's) readability level....I saw that as of 2005, that wasn't possible with iWork/Pages. Is that still true? (if so, WHY?!?)
Thanks!

A search on the internet for 'flesch-kincaid calculator' will bring up several online results.
A search at Version Tracker on 'flesch-kincaid' returns one freeware application.
Those may be sufficient to your needs.
Regards,
Barry
Scores from the online "Readability index calculator" using the three lines above as the sample:
Flesch-Kincaid Grade level: 12.
Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease score: 30.

  • Why can't I print a document created on my MacBook Air with Pages via a wired Lexmark X2650 printer?

    I am unable to printe a document I created on my Mac with Pages via a wired Lexmark X2650 printer. Of course, I have already confirmed that it is correctly set up and connected. Why?
    Thank you.

    TextEdit is an application on your Mac.
    Type TextEdit into Spotlight (magnifying icon top right on the menubar) to quickly locate and open it.
    It is the basic Text/Word Processor (but actually very capable) that comes with all Macs and a good place to test differences if you hit a problem.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • How to pass parameter through URL to bounded task flow with page fragment

    I want to pass parameter to Bounded Task Flow With Page Fragment trough URL
    as I start this taks flow with router and according to this Param I will rout the user.
    I added input param to taks flow named direction and make the task flow called URL invoke url-invoke-allowed
      <input-parameter-definition id="__41">
          <name id="__42">direction</name>
          <value>#{pageFlowScope.direction}</value>
          <class>java.lang.String</class>
        </input-parameter-definition>but I don't know how to add this to the JSPX that I will add the bounded task flow Inside.
    and How to pass this from URL

    Hi,
    url-invoke-allowed is only required if the task flow itself is directly accessible from a browser (which is not the case at all if the task flow uses page fragments). To pass input parameters to a task flow that is embedded in a region and that has input parameters, you define the input parameters on the taskFlow Id that is created in the PageDef file of the containing page. To learn ADF task flows, have a look at the videos below. They also contain a sample for passing parameters to a region

  • How to make KM document iView use portal theme / styles

    Hi,
    We're in the process of upgrading our NetWeaver Portal to 7.4 and trying to improve it wherever possible.
    We have numerous home pages which appear as the first landing page when a menu item if selected.
    These pages are stored as HTML files in KM and rendered as KM Document iViews.
    Is there an easy way of making these pages use the portal theme?
    Currently we link to our own CSS file which means there can be differences in appearance and if a user selected a different theme (e.g. high contrast), these pages would not change.
    I don't see any iView properties that could help.
    I did wonder whether we could use Web Page Composer but from a quick test this needs some work to set it up before I can evaluate further.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Alan

    Is HTML Filter for Portal Stylesheets used for the repository where you are storing the HTML documents? Can you view the source of a document rendered by the KM Document iView? It should have a reference to the portal style sheet.

  • How to default the Document Type in Dynamic selections linked with DDF LDB?

    Hello all,
    A report is associated with Logical database DDF. In the selection screen we have Dynamic selections screen in which Document type is one of the fields. As per the requirement, this field document type(BLART) needs to be filled by default on certain actions done by the user. To be more precise when user clicks on a particluar check box, then document type values from a customized table should appear in that parameter in dynamic selections.
    Query here is I am not able to track the selection screen name for those dynamic fields. Can you please guide me in knowing the selection screen name for document type so that I can append values into it upon certain actions. I tried to check in the LDB 'DDF'  but I could not get any apt information there.
    Thanks in advance.
    Chandra.

    Hi,
    In the report event at selection-screen output, based on the user action you can do that try like below:
    at selection-screen output.
    if p_checkbox = 'X'.  "Checkbox checked
        s_blart-low = 'F'.
       s_blart-option = 'EQ'.
      s_blart-sign = 'I'.
      append s_blart.
    endif.
    Regards,

  • How can I get templates for Avery Labels to use with Pages.

    Prior to getting Pages I always used Word.  Word seems to bomb out on my new imac.  I need to be able to use Avery Labels, but I can't find a template for labels in Pages.  Suggestions?

    Pages doesn't have label templates built in. You can use Word templates in Pages, but I do believe that Avery now has Pages templates although I only see "holiday" ones.

  • How to: Send any document using mail via "Right click"

    Hello-
    Does anyone know how to send a document, whether it is a Word, Eccel, Pages doc, etc. via a "Right Click" or similiar key stroke as we can on a WinPC? I am certain it is possible, and the closest commandIi have found is the "Services:Mail" drop down which is seemingly useless (i.e. I do not know how to make use of it). Any suggestions are appreciated. Thx

  • Pages 5.5.1: When opening a document created with Pages '09 (Version 4.0) with Pages 5.5.1 the page header and the page footer are deleted. How can this be prevented? Or is this a bug in Pages 5.5.1?

    Pages 5.5.1: When opening a document created with Pages '09 (Version 4.0) with Pages 5.5.1 the page header and the page footer are deleted. How can this be prevented? Or is this a bug in Pages 5.5.1?

    Same problem here (no graphics in header or footer) and the problem has been reported months ago. It is another bug/feature lost when Apple moves from 09 to the iCloud-compatible versions.  Complain to Apple, you may have better chance than me and they may finally listen to their users....
