Readability statistics not showing in Outlook 2007

S

Sherlock

We recently upgraded to 2007, so the problem may be a setting we haven't
found yet, but:

Readability Statistics show up in Word, but not in Outlook. I tested the
content of an email by forwarding and checking the same email in both Outlook
2003 and Outlook 2007. In 2003, the Readability Statistics window opens at
the end of the check. In 2007 it does not.

Show readability statistics on the Proofing tab in Editor Options is
selected.

What are we missing?

Thanks very much for your help!

it comes up here. I'm not sure what other setting would control it, other
than what is on the proofing tab. You do have outlook 2007 installed as
part of the office suite, correct? (standard, pro, or ultimate)

I do. I continued to fiddle with it last night. I did discover the check box
about not checking the original text in a reply or forward. I thought it
checked some text, because I think at the very least my signature was in
there and has a period in it. And I got a box saying that it hadn't checked
text marked not to be checked. Anyway, something I did somewhere fixed it.
Now I have to figure out what it was and fix it for two other people.
Hopefully if I did it once I can repeat it.

Thanks.

I think I may have figured out one, and possibly both, of the others'
problems. One hadn't selected Ignore original text. She just canceled after
she got past the new text. I expect that canceled the Readability as well.
She checked that box, didn't have to cancel, and got the stats. I think the
problem is resolved.

Thanks.
