Why the page count varies
These are estimates. The actual number of pages depends on four things:
- Font — a wide font like Arial fills pages faster than a compact one.
- Font size — 12pt is standard; larger sizes mean more pages.
- Line spacing — double spacing roughly doubles the page count versus single.
- Margins — the standard is 1 inch on all sides.
