In my word document, I'm examining

ActiveDocument.Content.ReadabilityStatistics(8).Value

for Passive Sentences. It seems always to be equal to 0. The report from
check spelling shows that there are passive sentences.

All the other statistics  display correctly. They are all integers. The
number check grammar  reports for passive  sentences is a percentage, so the
problem here may be one of rounding.

I've created a variable  with type double or variant, but still cannot get
this value to display any result other than 0.

Any suggestions?
