Something like the following is what you want:

Code:

program:
format_number(divide(divide(raw_field('#words'),1000),60), '{0:5,.2f}')

In that, the 1000 is the reading speed. You can do it with one divide if you calculate the reading speed in words per hour rather than words per minute.

The formatting will give the number with two decimal points.
