How is your standard page set up?

I find a variety of information online about standard pages. The only consistent one is 30 lines of 60 characters each.

What settings regarding margins, headers and footers, paragraphs, fonts, etc. do you use to achieve this?

Have you set up any extra goodies to make things easier for you?

My goal is to set it up like this in Word.

My standard pages look like this:

  • font Courier New in font size 11
  • Side edges: top: 4 cm, left 3 cm, bottom 6 cm, right 5 cm.
  • Header and footer, in the header title and author, footer page number and contact option.
  • Paragraph: Special intake first line: 0.7 cm, distance before and after 0 cm. Line spacing 1.5 times.

I’ll write in standard pages. So I can better estimate the total volume of the manuscript.

Yes, always new per page and counting interval 30. I only make sure there are a maximum of 30 lines on each side. If I send the text later, I’ll take the numbering out again.

A standard page corresponds to approximately one book page. This can vary depending on the formatting of the printed book by font, font size, line spacing, etc.

The standard page is also only a basis for assessment in the editorate for fee bills in publishing. But since I do not want to reformat everything after writing, I use the standard page in the writing process from the very beginning.

Standard pages are only relevant for publishers and for price calculations, for example in the case of editors. Writing is usually not done on standard pages. But if you want to have it exactly:

DIN A4, 2.5 cm margin on all sides, Courier New, 12.5 px, 1.1 times line spacing, no header or footer.

So do you have a setting for the paragraph before and after in Enter entries?

Set line spacing to 1.1 times, so in Courier New 12px font, you then filled the page exactly with 30 lines.

What kind of format are you writing for?

That depends on what I write. Texts in 12px Times New Roman, texts for publication in a print shop in 10px Linotype and normal fonts in 10px Arial.
