I helped Daniel with this macro. The macro calculates:
Fog Index
Flesch Reading Scale
Flesch-Kincaid Index
Coleman-Liau Grade
It ignores all paragraphs that are not of the style:
"First paragraph", "Text body", "Standard"
Does this mean that if someone, like me, are using the Swedish (or other
language) version of OpenOffice.org, the standard names of the styles has to
be changed into the English names?

Not sure it makes sense to use these indexes on a non-English text. The
rules about long words, long sentences and so on which the calculations
are based will be very different from language to language. As will the
threshold values for different levels of readability. For example,
German has much longer words than English; it also has longer sentences.
My **guess** is that Swedish will be closer to German than to English -
I know Danish is.
