Question: how many words on 8.5 x 11 page?
Answer: One rule of thumb is you can get 60 percent of a manuscript page into one typeset page (said manuscript being in 12-point type, double-spaced, preferably Times New Roman, with one-inch margins on an 8.5 × 11-inch document). Another rule of thumb is you can get 250 to 300 words on a typeset page.
