Pages in Word vs Published Pages

[BiggusGeekus]

I've got about 100 pages written up in MS Word in 10pt font. What does that mean in terms of published pages? Assume for the moment that there is no art.

Thanks.

How many words per page?
Figure 700-800 words per page as a ROUGH estimate. Some books have less, some have more.

Thanks, I appriciate the swift reply.

I'll go with 850 words/page as my guideline (and I fully understand you meant this as a very abstract metric). I'd rather err on the side of having too much text than too little.

Just fill however many words your editor told you to fill. Don't worry about page count.
