In Microsoft Word, the real short bond paper size is 8.5" (inches) x 11". (inches). The page count for this paper size is between 10 and 12 pages based on whether one side or both sides of the paper are used. The word “short” is used to describe papers that are 8.5 inches by 11 inches, but it can also be used to describe any paper that is smaller than A4. Short papers are useful when you need to make multiple copies of an article or report without having to change the printer settings each time. Short papers come in two varieties: ones with only one side printed and those with both sides printed. Those with only one side printed are called one-sided short papers. They are easy to produce as only one side needs to be printed, detached, and placed face down on a stacker tray. Double-sided short papers require printing on both sides; therefore, they use more ink and toner and take longer to print. The best way to determine how many copies you will need of a document is by calculating the number of pages it has. Then multiply that number by the short paper's page capacity to get the total number of copies you need to print.
