How many pages is 1,000 words?
1,000 words runs about 2 pages single-spaced or 4 pages double-spaced in a standard 12-point font.
The standard conversion
The academic convention — 12-point Times New Roman, 1-inch margins — fits roughly 500 words on a single-spaced page and 250 words on a double-spaced one. That makes the mental math easy: divide your word count by 500 or 250.
Fonts and spacing move the number noticeably: Arial runs slightly larger than Times, 1.5 spacing sits between the two conventions, and wider margins shrink every page. When a page count matters — a submission limit, a print estimate — the word count is the honest measure, and the page count is a formatting artifact.
Handwriting and print books
Handwritten text runs about half the density of type: a 1,000-word handwritten assignment fills roughly 4 pages of normal-sized handwriting. Printed books are different again — a typical paperback holds about 250–300 words per page, so 1,000 words is 3–4 book pages.

How many pages is 1,000 words handwritten?
About 4 pages with average-sized handwriting — handwriting is roughly half the density of 12-point type, so double the typed single-spaced estimate.
Does the font change the page count?
Yes, by 10–15%. Arial and Verdana run larger than Times New Roman at the same point size; Garamond runs smaller. Spacing matters even more — switching from double to 1.5 spacing cuts the page count by a quarter.
