7. Why is price calculated by word count and not page number?

Each type of document/text has a different layout/formatting. If just a few parameters such as font, font size, alignment, line spacing… are changed, the number of pages in the document will change immediately.

Regular documents are those with common content and without difficult/technical terms.
