Answer: 500 words is 1 page single spaced or 2 pages double spaced.
You’ve just written 500 words for your assignment. If you set your font size to 12 pt and the font type to Times New Roman with single spacing, these words are going to take up one full page, and maybe two pages for double spacing. Remember, the number of pages for 500 words may vary according to the font type, font size and line spacings you choose, but 1 page is a good estimate.
