How do I set the pages for 200 words only?

[Gingerbelle]

I am writing a Novella and want only 200 words per page. How do I do this?

Word is not a page layout application and 'page' in Word is a vague concept
that depends on a variety of factors. The number of 'words' that will fit on
a 'page' will vary according to the size of the page, the magins, the length
of the 'words', the font used, the line spacing, the current printer driver,
and no doubt one or two other factors I have not considered. You *may* be
able to create a macro that will force a page break every 200 words, but
then you would have to decide what constitutes a 'word'.

Do you want it to have EXACTLY 200 words per page, or do you want it to
average around 200 words per page?

I can't imagine why a publisher would insist on the first of those options,
but the second option sounds plausible. If that is what you want, just write
your novella, and then use the Word Count feature to decide how many words
you have. Then adjust page margins, line spacing, font size, etc., so that
your page count is about 1/200th of your word count. (For example, if your
word count is around 40,000 words, adjust things until your page count is
around 200.)
