Every word in the world on one page

I guess professional translators and other professionals who often deal with word and character count are well acquainted with this magic formula. Are you?

You may count your productiveness as, for example, 1 page per day. How much is it in characters? Characters with spaces? Lines? Being commonly asked to create text with a certain word count, I still sometimes get lost. So I took a page of plain text with a little formatting, and the statistics are…

	Characters with spaces	Characters without spaces	Words	Lines
10 pt	4972	4283	697	55
12 pt	3838	3311	535	46

Your word and character count may vary depending on page margin, applied font, font size, spacing, etc. For example, in a one page A4 with single line spacing, in Arial typeface are the following number of characters, words, and lines:

	Characters with spaces	Characters without spaces	Words	Lines
10 pt	5153	4391	769	93.7
12 pt	3542	3034	512	64.4
14 pt	2682	2307	378	48.8
16 pt	2129	1829	302	38.7

Once we change single to 1.5 line spacing in the text, figures contrast sharply:

	Characters with spaces	Characters without spaces	Words	Lines
10 pt	3426	2938	492	62.3
12 pt	2370	2039	332	43.1
14 pt	1840	1577	263	33.5
16 pt	1319	1123	196	24.0

Just to keep in mind, the average one spaced page usually contains about 3000 characters or 500 words. Depending on the text formatting, a page word count may include from 200 (large print) up to 600 words (academic book).

There are times when it helps to know how many words per page you’re writing. While a general guideline is one page is 500 words (single spaced) or 250 words (double spaced), this is a ballpark figure. The truth is the number of words per page depends on a variety of factors such as the type of font, the font size, spacing elements, margin spacing, and paragraph length to name a few. While it’s not possible to take into all these factors when estimating how many words per page there will be for your writing, this calculator can give a more accurate words per page conversion estimate than the typical 250/500 ballpark figure.

The calculator is able to provide a more accurate conversion by taking into account more specific information. For example, you can choose from a different variety of common fonts to generate an estimate:

• Arial
• Calibri
• Comic Sans MS
• Courier
• Times New Roman
• Verdana

You can then choose your preferred spacing from the following options:

• Single spaced
• 1.5 spaced
• Double spaced

Finally, you can choose your preferred font size: 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14.

By using these three options to more accurately define your writing, the words per page calculator should provide a better estimate on how many words you need to write to fill a page. In the opposite direction, it can give a more accurate estimate of how many pages you have created if you only know the word count.

While we make every attempt to make our calculators as accurate as possible, the results won’t be perfect. This converter addresses some issues to provide a more accurate estimate, but in the end, it’s still an estimate. Other issues such as margin space and paragraph length will likely result in some variation from the calculations given. That being said, it should provide a more accurate indication of the number of pages a specific word count will be and the number of words per page you type when compared to the general rule of thumb.

Have a small amount of text carrying over to create a new page in your document? Learn how to shrink it to one page in Word.

Have you ever created a single-page document where you have a tiny amount of text carry over to the next page? You squish and squeeze and try to move that text up to keep your page count at one. It can be hard to do without messing up the structure or appearance of your document.

Here, we’ll show you how to shrink text to fit on one page in Microsoft Word. The options differ if you’re using Word on your desktop or the web. So we’ll include them both, so you’re covered either way.

Shrink to One Page in Word on Your Desktop

Whether you’re using Word on Windows or Mac, you can scoot that text from the second page up to the first for a nice one-page document.

Word has a hidden command to add to your ribbon or Quick Access Toolbar called Shrink One Page.

1. On Windows, click File > Options > Customize Ribbon or Quick Access Toolbar. On Mac, click Word > Preferences > Ribbon & Toolbar and select Ribbon or Toolbar at the top.
2. In the drop-down box on the left, pick All Commands.
3. Scroll through the commands to Shrink One Page. Select it and click the arrow to add it to the right side. You can move it up or down wherever you’d like the button to appear.
4. Click OK.

Now to use the feature, click the button you just added. Below, we added it to our Quick Access Toolbar.

Word will then adjust the document to fit on one page.

The online version of Microsoft Word doesn’t currently have the Shrink One Page feature that the desktop version does. So, you’ll shrink the text in Word on the web using the Shrink Font Size feature.

Note: You can also use the below option in the desktop version of Word if you prefer not to add the Shrink One Page button described above.

1. Open your document in Word on the web and select all of the text. You can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A on Windows or Command + A on Mac.
2. Go to the Home tab and click the Shrink Text Size button.
3. You can click the button as many times as you need to shrink the text to fit one page.

It would help if you had all of the neat text on one page. And for a good way to see this, head to the View tab and select Reading View.

To return to editing, click Edit Document > Edit in the ribbon in Reading View.

Make Your Text Fit on One Page in Word

Shrinking your text to fit on one page is easy to do with Word’s features. Whether on your desktop or online, you can keep your document as a single page just like you want.

If you are learning a new language, it is essential to new words each day. Gaining a powerful vocabulary will guarantee that you will be able to express yourself effectively and sophisticatedly. Designating a “word of the day” for yourself will also ensure that you understand grammar to a greater extent and the lengths to which the language you are studying is developed. In this article, I will be discussing websites that are great for learning new English words. Each website has its benefits and disadvantages, so it is better to use several websites at a time to gain the most out of your learning process. Many of these websites have a word of the day app that you can download on your smartphone or tablet for easy usage. It is best to be connected to new words in any way you can!

1. A.Word.A.Day (AWAD)

You can see the word of the day, and yesterday’s word of the day, on the website or through an email subscription. The website is strikingly simple, but highly useful. It provides the pronunciation, meaning, etymology, and usage of the selected word. Below the entry, the owner, Anu Garg, also presents a thought of the day. The New York Times commented that this website is “The most welcomed, most enduring piece of daily mass e-mail in cyberspace.” In fact, it has over a million subscribers from over 170 countries.

2. Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Day

One of the most respected dictionaries in the world, Merriam-Webster has a sophisticated layout for its word-of-the-day page. It provides a definition (with sound of the word spoken included), a “Did you know” section, examples of its usage, a “Name that synonym” section, podcasts, and a word of the day calendar at the bottom. Those who are truly interested in words and their histories, this dictionary will be a treat. Its “Did you know” section is expansive, and allows readers to understand the nuances of each selected word. On the left of the presentation is an easy way to share the word of the day through Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus. You can even get the word of the day emailed to you through a subscription. It even has a section for learners called a learner’s dictionary. This dictionary also has a word-of-the-day category.

3. Wordnik

This website is all about words, with a word community, word of the day, and random word pages. On its word-of-the-day page, it has concise definitions of words with ample example sentences with the chosen word being used, extra notes on nuances, and also stats on its usage and even its Scrabble score. The fantastic thing about this page is that each word is accompanied with real examples from literature, not just sentences made up on the spot that sound unnatural. So, not only will you learn a new word each day, but also become knowledgeable in literature through this website. It also has an easy-to-access archive, and a convenient way of sharing words via social media.

4. Duolingo

This is perhaps the best language learning app and website out there. In turn, it is a great tool for learning new words. You can compete with your friends and family through the app, so you can gain that motivation needed to learn new words. It has a simple but pleasant layout, with many different exercises for learning: speaking, listening, writing, multiple choice questions, matching word exercises, and more. You can either strengthen what you already know, or venture into the world of new words each day. Duolingo focuses on obtaining a streak, so you know how many days in a row you have been learning a certain language (in our case, it is most likely English). There are many other language learning apps on the market, but it seems Duolingo takes the cake in terms of efficiency, user-friendliness, and motivation. It even has a cute owl mascot that cheers you on as you go through the exercises. I think that most people use the app rather than the website; however, both can be useful. It is important to download the necessary keyboards for the languages you are learning, though.

5. Dictionary.com’s Word of the Day

This is another popular option for learning new words easily. It shows the definitions in the form of a meme or picture you can conveniently share on social media (including showing the pronunciation and what kind of word it is). Below the definitions are citations of the word of the day’s usage from literature. Lastly, there is a section that discusses the origin of the word. You can sign up for an email subscription to the page, and seeing the visual archive of the word of the day for the previous day is just a scroll away.

6. Oxford Dictionary’s Word of the Day

Maybe the most trusted dictionary in the world, the Oxford Dictionary website also has a webpage that features a word of the day. For each entry, you have an audio pronunciation guide, a definition, the word’s origin, and an easy-to-share picture of the word with a pronunciation guide across social media. I like that the Oxford Dictionary focuses on archaic usages of words as well, as for wordaholics, these archaic definitions can be useful to know and interesting to understand. Like most sites of this nature, it also has an email subscription option. Another section of this website to check out if you have time is “Explore the English Language,” which has wordlists and word origin features.

7. New York Times’ Word of the Day

A standard in the news industry, it is also a fantastic tool for learning. The New York Times presents a word of the day daily, attached with a quiz. What is also useful is that it shows words in context of The New York Times itself. So, they will show how the word was used in news articles from the Times. Each entry has sections for definitions, examples of its usage in news articles, and a quiz at the bottom. After you finish the quiz, you will see a more detailed look into the chosen word, discussing its nuances. A great tool for learning more words, and more about them.

8. WordReference.com’s Word of the Day

The special thing about this website is that it offers two categories: basic word of the day, and intermediate word of the day. The basic word of the day is aimed at beginners and the intermediate word of the day is focused on people who have been learning English for some time. Though each category has entries that are filled with detail, there is a clear difference between basic and intermediate entries. In the basic section, entries have sections dedicated definitions, common uses, usage within pop culture, and a button that reads “see full definition,” which leads a user to an elaborated entry. For the intermediate entries, there are sections devoted to expanded definitions, example sentences, words most often used with the chosen entry, usage within pop culture, “did you know,” origins, and once again a “see full definition” button. This seems like the most comprehensive website for learning words and their background stories, so to say. You can get these definitions sent to you by email, and can also share them easily via Facebook and Twitter. You can scroll through entries as if you were on a common blogging site.

9. Vocabulary.com

This website tries its best to make learning new words enjoyable. It has word games to play, you can look up words, and it has word lists. They say if you start playing with language, you will learn it quickly. This website seems to take this approach. When learning is fun and flexible, words will be retained at a better rate. A great thing about its quizzes is that when you answer a question, it will describe the word in detail. The search option has examples sentences written by humans, not computers (it happens often it seems), examples sentences that are in touch with the real world of how English is being used, and claims to be the fastest-working dictionary. Its layout is user-friendly and intuitive. In the lists section, there are myriad lists focused on different subjects, ranging from baseball to movies. It is a highly enjoyable and engaging website for learning new words, and for studying English in general.

10. Word of the Day! App

For people who are crazy about checking other dictionaries for varying definitions, this is the app for them. This app features the following sources:

• Merriam-Webster
• Dictionary.com
• Oxford English Dictionary
• The Free Dictionary
• The Learning Network
• WordSpy
• Latin Word of the Day
• MedTerms
• Yahoo! Education

You can conveniently compare definitions, and discover the nuances of words you want to delve into. In addition, you can “star” and “favorite” certain definitions and words. These starred and favorited words can be shared with friends, and the app will also alert you when new words have been entered into its system. It’s a free app, so it is a catch for those who don’t want to spend to learn. The entries for the words have audio recordings of pronunciation, root meanings, examples sentences, and connotations of chosen words.

Please Note:
This article is written for users of the following Microsoft Word versions: 2007, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, Word in Microsoft 365, and 2021. If you are using an earlier version (Word 2003 or earlier), this tip may not work for you. For a version of this tip written specifically for earlier versions of Word, click here: Keeping Tables on One Page.

As you develop more complex Word documents, it is inevitable that you will add tables. Most tables are relatively short and can easily fit on a page. Because of this, it can be disconcerting to have a page break occur in the middle of a table. Here’s an approach that has always worked for me:

1. Select all the rows in the table.
2. Display the Home tab of the ribbon.
3. Click the small icon at the bottom-right of the Paragraph group. Word displays the Paragraph dialog box.
4. Make sure the Line and Page Breaks tab is selected. (See Figure 1.)



Figure 1. The Line and Page Breaks tab of the Paragraph dialog box.

5. Make sure the Keep Lines Together check box is selected.
6. Click on OK.

Now you need to repeat the same steps, with two minor variations. First, in step 1 select all the rows except the last one. Then, in step 5, make sure the Keep With Next check box is selected. This is necessary (performing this step with the last row not selected) so that the table stays together as a unit, rather than the table staying with the paragraph that follows it.

Finally, if the last row in your table contains multiple paragraphs, you need to select each paragraph in that row, except the very last paragraph, and repeat the above steps. Again, you are making sure the Keep With Next check box is selected. If you don’t perform this step and you have multiple paragraphs in the last row, then it is possible that the row will break between the two pages.

Please note: This tip refers to (as it says in the second sentence) tables that are «relatively short and can easily fit on a page.» If your table is longer than what will fit on a single page, this tip will not work; it cannot, since it is impossible for Word to keep the paragraphs in the table together.

The header in a Word document is a great place to put information that you want on every page. This could be the page number and maybe your last name, but it’s also a good choice when you need to know how to make title appear on every page in Word.

How to Put a Document Title at the Top of Every Page in Word 2013

1. Open the document.
2. Click Insert.
3. Select Header, then one of the options.
4. Delete placeholder text, then enter the title.

Putting information in the header of a document in Word 2013 can be a little confusing the first few times you do it. The header is actually a separate part of the document, and has different rules than the body of the document where you type the majority of your content.

But the header in Word 2013 is actually very useful, particularly when dealing with information, such as a page title, that you would like to automatically include on each page. Our guide below will show you how to accomplish this in Word 2013.

The steps in this article are going to show you how to put information in the header of your document. The information that you put here will be included on each page of your document. This article will focus primarily on making that information your document title, but it can also be something like your last name, or anything else that might be required when submitting a document to someone.

Step 1: Open your document in Word 2013.

Step 2: Select the Insert tab at the top of the window.

Step 3: Click the Header button, then choose one of the listed options, based on the preferred style that you would like to use for your document title.

Step 4: Delete the placeholder text, then type the document title.

If you would like to modify the appearance of the document title in the header, then you can do so by using the formatting options on the Home tab. For example, in the image below, I have elected to center the document title.

Once you have finished editing the title you can double-click inside the body of the document and continue editing as normal.

If you need to include a page title in your header, but don’t want to put it on the first page, then find out more about customizing the appearance of the header in Word 2013. You have some options as far as which pages the header appears on, which can also be handy if you are using page numbers.

Note that you can also use another method if you want the title of the document to appear at the top of every page.

1. Open the document.
2. Double-click inside the header.
3. Select Document Info in the Insert group of the ribbon.
4. Choose Document Title.

This is going to add a variable to the header that looks like [Title]. You might prefer this option if you haven’t settled on a title yet and don’t want to remember to update this information each time you make an adjustment to the document title.

Hopefully one of the methods we outlined above provides you with a good solution for how to make title appear on every page in Word.

Plus, as you become familiar with the header and the footer you can take advantage of them as tools that can more effectively display all of the information you need for your document.

The dictionary chronicles how the language grows and changes, which means new words and definitions must continually be added. When many people use a word in the same way, over a long enough period of time, that word becomes eligible for inclusion. Here are a selection of words that met the criteria for our most recent update.

This update features a range of technology-related terms, including a playful retronym that contrasts with the ubiquitous smartphone.
