How to check and lower the Flesch-Kincaid grade level of written instructions

Any handout for patients should be at a 5th grade or lower reading level. This video will show you how to do make that happen!
On a Mac, the procedure is very similar, but the option to check readability is in a slightly different place:
In Mac OS X, go to the Word drop down menu. In Mac OS 9, go to the Tools drop down menu.
On a Mac select Preferences.
Select Spelling and Grammar.
Check Show readability statistics.
Now when you use the spell check tool (in the "Review" drop down menu), it will automatically tell you the Flesch-Kincaid grade level.
