I'd like to compare the amount of the word on one my page with, I don't know, the page in some of Harper Collins' books'. Are my pages longer than Harper Collins', Bantam's, Tor's, Voyager's are or... hehe.

Sorry because of my English.
Why do you want to know this? It doesn't really matter much at all. You just have to send it out to agents/publishers in the proper m/s format and let them worry about that. Why do you want it to look like a published book? I think copying it is a waste of time, but if you really want to you can, I'm just saying that I don't think that it's worth your time. Just write, put it in Courier New size 12, double spaced, unjustified margins and send it out.
