One sentence contains an average of 11 words and one A4 sheet contains an average of 32 to 35
sentences. Therefore, an A4 sheet has an average of 350 to 400 words. However, this does apply
to a relatively full A4 sheet with a standard layout and filled with 80 to 90% of text.
Microsoft Word offers a function that allows you to see how many words a document contains.
The number of words can be checked by going to File -> Properties. This word count will not
always be correct, since Microsoft Word does not count words in pictures or text boxes.
It depends on your font and font size, but if you are using 12 pt Times New Roman, which is the
standard essay choice, 1200 words double spaced will give you just over 4 1/2 pages. If you figure in
your heading and various line breaks for new paragraphs, you may reach 5 pages.
Using Times New Roman, double spaced at size 12, it'll take 19 pages to write 5,000 words.
