The first part is pretty mechanical - Gunning Fog and the rest can do a good job of testing that. The second part is writing with flair and style. This takes a bit of practice and unfortunately there's no button in Word that will do it automatically. There are two parts to readabiliy.

But it doesn't pay the bills.<br/><br/>So to be fair I checked the print view of a recent press release on our web site. I looked at the print view to control for the previous post that commented about navigation changing the result. Although navs are short so logically this would improve (reduce) the score anyway.<br/><br/>Ouch the Gunning-Fog index for our press release is 16.94. I won't link it. I will fix it. Thanks for the actionable post.<br/><br/>Thanks! um… this is brilliant.
