Confused - Number of lines per page?

[HeavyHeartLaments]

Hello there,

Normally, I plan my chapters based on word count and write in MS Word. And too, LITO has it's own style of showing the finished product. So far, so good.

When writing, I always ask myself a question: How many pages will this chapter in MS word, translate to in number of pages on the LITO website after they have applied their formatting?

Now, I know I can get this information by submitting my story and previewing it, but it would be great to have some indicator that goes into making a LITO page in a multi-page story, so that I can plan my chapters in word (for example: every chapter must be 4 pages in the LITO format) BEFORE submitting to LITO.

Thank you in advance.

HHL.

Approximately 3,750 words per Lit page, give or take a hundred or so (it depends on paragraph density, basically). The Lit data blocks are character based - the latest estimate, just last week, is each page is around 20,000 characters. Line counts are irrelevant here.
