Depends on how it's stacked. If it's end to end, it would be 11,000,000 inches high.
If it's side to side, 8,500,000 inches.
If it's just stacked on top of each other like it would come out of the package, it takes 10 sheets to make about 1 cm, so you can figure out the rest of the math.

lets think about this:
I am assuming you are stacking the paper, and not making a strip, laying them end to end, or side to side. To stack, here is the furmula:
500 sheets of paper in a ream.
One ream of paper is about 2.5 inches
2 reams of paper are about 5 inches (1,000 sheets)
1,000 x 1,000 is 1,000,000,
so you would need to multiply 5 by 1,000
5,000.
So a million sheets of paper would be 5,000 inches high.
divide 12 into 5,000 (12 inches in a foot)
12/5,000 = 416.66666666
so it would be about 416 feet and .666666666... of a foot.
.6666666666...... is 3/4
3/4 of a foot is 9 inches.
So, 1,000,000 sheets of standard weight paper would be 416 feet, 9 inches high.
That is a lot of paper. You would need a huge printer to acommodate that.
Your next task is to find out the volume of an ink cartridge that would fullly print with text all that paper.
Good luck with that!

Probably not as high as a million stacked Oreo cookies!
Ream of paper of 500 sheets is 2 inches. Do the math and ta-dah = about 333 feet.

1000 Sheets Of Paper

Standard printer paper is usually somewhere between 0.004" thick and 0.008" thick. Some paper is 0.002" thick but I don't think that's what you are using. Let's be safe and use 0.005" for your calculation. So, 1,000,000 sheets times 0.005"/sheet equals 5,000 inches or a little over 400 feet high.

~417.667 feet given paper .005 inch thick and not calculating for compression. (Easy math.)

Well what weight and grade paper are you use? Once you add on so many pieces of paper there will be compression, do we get to neglect compression? Not every piece of paper is the same thickness, do we assume its the same thickness, give us some guidelines and we will do your homework for you.

Take the thickness Of the standard paper and multiply it by a million. : )

When creating a new document, simply use "inches" as the dimensions (from the drop down), and just create it using the same dimensions as the paper (typically 8.5w x 11h). If you want to see what it is in "pixels", switch the measurements to "pixels" after you set the dimensions for inches. It will automatically adjust.

A standard sheet of paper is 3,000 th thick. 3.000 x 1,000,000 = 3,000,000,000. One inch = 100,000 th. so when this is divided it is 30,000 inches.Divided by 12 = 2,500 feet
