How to tell how many pages an article would be in a book?

<p>I’m reading online because the book I am reading for a report is very difficult to find published, and I don’t want to go through ordering it. The teacher mentioned how to find out how many pages it would be in a book, by saving it and then putting the word document on a certain set-up, but I forget how to do it. Can anyone help me out?</p>

<ol>
<li>open Microsoft Word</li>
<li>click file > page setup > paper</li>
<li>click the drop down box under Paper Size and select custom</li>
<li>specify the size of the paper (find a book of appropriate size and measure the pages)</li>
<li>copy & paste the book into Word</li>
<li>click insert > page numbers > OK</li>
</ol>

<p>This is the surest way that I know. I would not be surprised if an easier way exists, though.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
