Find lines and words per page from margins and line spacing.
Subtracting the top and bottom margins from the page height leaves the usable area, which converts from inches to 72 points and divides by the line spacing. A rough ten words per line then yields the word total. Margin and spacing choices decide how much fits on a typed page, which matters for page-count targets and print setting.
