What changes the words-per-page count?
Page count is an estimate, not a fixed number. Four factors move it:
- Font: Times New Roman fits ~500 words per single-spaced page; Arial ~450; Courier New ~350.
- Font size: moving from 12pt to 11pt adds roughly 10% more words per page.
- Line spacing: double spacing halves the words per page versus single spacing.
- Margins and paragraphs: wider margins and frequent paragraph breaks reduce the count.
