Grandma

My laptop (ME) has the Fleisch Reading Guide on the Tools menu and I find it
valuable. This is a new PC and I can't find it - it was on the old one but
that's no help.
 
Well done Granny, a new laptop. But that really isn't sufficient information
as we cannot know which version of Word is installed. But putting on my
clairvoyant's outfit (see Post Script below), I guess it is Word 2007?
Simply press F7 to run the grammar/spelling checker. When it is complete, a
summary dialog pops up that includes word, line, page counts and reading
statistics.
 
One slightly more technical point -- to get the reading statistics to appear
after the spell check, the option for it has to be turned on, and I think by
default it's turned off. To verify it, go to Office button > Word Options >
Proofing, in the section labeled "When correcting spelling and grammar in
Word", and make sure the option "Show readability statistics" is checked.
