Working on a book and wanting to gauge an idea of how many pages in the average trade paperwork my typings on Word would be.

I wouldn't go on pages in MS Word, check the number of words. More than 50,000 is recommended for a novel.
Click Tools - Word Count to check the total number. I look forward to seeing your published work! What genre is it?

Ususally Microsoft Word pages are 'Letter' or A4 size. You can set the size of the page manually if you wish.
Major factor would be the font size and formatting in determining published number of pages. You can (in fact you should) format your typed pages as closed to the published thing as possible to give you a fairly good idea.

Most publishers prefer a manuscript to be double spacing. So as a rough guide I'd say 2 pages in Word =1 page in a book.

About 104-120. Just doubly the page count since two book pages are typically a standard computer page.

Depend on your page size, if you set Word size to B5, then a page there will match a page in a B5 size book, also it vary defend of fonts, font size, kernal and spacing.
