Office Word 2010 Readability Stats greyed out

Hi All,

I'm trying to help someone less tech savvy than myself with a Office Word 2010 issue in that the want to turn on and use the "Readability Stats" option when running the spell/grammar checker. The problem is that upon going to the appropriate Options>Proofing check boxes the option to "Show readability Stats" is greyed out thus making it impossible to activate it, is there a way to ungrey it and activate it?

The version of Office 2010 Professional Plus is a Volume License installed by a now closed/ceased trading local IT shop as far as I know, also when you start Word there are pop up boxes saying that to run this option Macros need to be enabled at the point of installation, which I presume has not been done, I am presuming that the greyed box and macro problem are related but then I'm probably wrong. 

So far I have not found any installation file left by the IT shop so I don't want to uninstall Office completely incase I cannot get Office 2010 back. I've tried a "Repair Install" from the control panel but still no success. Unfortunately I don't have immediate access to the laptop concerned as the owner still uses it for their work and travels a lot so I would require options to try as and when I can get access to it.

Thanks in Advance

Answer

Has the check box "Check grammar with spelling" been ticked? If not, the "Show readability statistics" check box will be disabled (greyed out). In the screenshots below, you can see the difference.
