In all these thread replies, I don't think anyone has
answered the author's question. While I don't have a mac,
the same thing should apply here. To get an approximate value for
words per minute, you should be able to do something like this:
1. Select a portion of text, for example out of a book,
webpage or email with about 1000 words. Copy and paste it into a document.
Get a word count. Your editor should have some way to do that.
Set your desired rate, go to the top of the document, and start a timer. I don't
know if there are any software timers for the mac, but you need to time it to 
the second or so, or get a longer sample.
When it finishes reading, stop the timer and do the math.
wpm = wordcount/elapsed time in minutes
