How Many Words In One Page?
12: 4972/4283/697/55
I guess professional translators and other professionals often dealing with word count are well acquainted with this magic formula. Are you?
You may count your productiveness as, for example, 1 page per day. How much is it in characters? Characters with spaces? Lines? Being commonly asked to create text with certain word count, I still sometimes get lost. So I took a page of plain text with little formatting and the statistics is…
| Characters with spaces | Characters without spaces | Words | Lines | |
| 10 pt | 4972 | 4283 | 697 | 55 |
| 12 pt | 3838 | 3311 | 535 | 46 |
Just to keep in mind, the average one spaced page contains usually about 3000 characters or 500 words. Depending on the text formatting a page word count may include from 200 (large print) up to 600 words (academic book).
