about how many words does it take to equal one typed page?

Answer 1

depends on the margins and font and how big your words are but about 300

Answer 2

Words per page

At one extreme you get large print books with 250 words on the page. Academic books might put 600 words on a page with works of reference squeezing in 1000 words. A good working average is 400.

These figures represent continuous words with no blank lines or breaks. In practice you need to subtract 15-20% from the page word total once the white space is taken into account. This gives you 200 (large print), 500 for an academic book with 350 words per paperback page as a working average.

To put these numbers in perspective, if you type with a font size of 10, you could be packing nearly 1000 words on each A4 page - which would make nearly 3 paperback pages.

All this relates to the standard paperback size book. Pages come in many sizes and it often makes sense to opt for a larger page format to reduce the print costs.

Answer 3

type a page and then count the words, or copy and paste a text document that you have onto a word .doc page and then there is a function which counts the number of word for you in there

Answer 4

First answer is right.

Without counting a teacher will assume 500 words per page.

Answer 5

500 is pretty typical. In MS Word you can tell how many words you have by going to the "Tools" tab and choosing "Word Count". Most other word processors have a similar feature.

Answer 6

Between 400-500 in Arial 12pt font.

Answer 7

I was wondering the same thing. But, really, it depends on what you consider the size of a book page to be.

Answer 8

depends on how long the words are
