[Blindtlk] How many words in a standard Braille page?

[David Andrews]

The usual standard is about 1000 characters, 25 lines of 40 cells 
each.  How many words -- it depends...

And depending on the paper, and the embosser, etc., in theory y0ou 
could fit up to 27 lines of 42 characters -- you do the math.
