If the text is formatted correctly, it probably makes less than 20 characters difference. Single-spaced is the default, and one set of tags for double-spacing would be all it would take. If you've got more than one set of tags for double-spacing, then maybe it would make a difference. If your software puts tag pairs around every paragraph, then yeah. Indenting paragraphs is another place where print formatting will cost you on upload size -- default online formatting doesn't use them. There's a 150 KB file size limit for Book entries. Look at the file size in your OS's File Manager to check the size before spending time on uploading. That limit isn't going to translate into X number of pages because page content differs a lot. To get a rough estimate for a specific project, create a "typical" single page sample of text in a file and store it, then check the file size. Divide that into the 150KB to get your estimate. The software you use can also make a difference. The same text can be X big in one word processing format and up to 3X in another word processing format. So saving a copy of a .doc file as an .rtf and uploading from that might make a difference. You won't be publishing from the copy here on WDC, after all. Hope that helps.
