Hey writers, when you send out a manuscript (especially a novel) are you using word processor word count or the standard publishing formula (which usually yields 250 words a page in Courier 12pt)?

I use the word processor total rounded to the nearest thousand for a novel.

Ah, yes, and as Jon says, rounded to the nearest thousand for a novel, the nearest hundred for a short story.
