One of the first things you need to find out before you can answer that question is the style and size of the typeface the ad will be run with. The larger the type size the less words will fit in the ad. The style of the type also makes a difference as on style in a particular size can be larger or smaller than another style in the same size.

Once you have this information it is easier to figure out how many words can fit in the as. There is a formula as to how many letters per inch for each typeface and size that can be used to calculate the number of words.

The best way is to write or type out your copy and take it to wherever you are purchasing the ad. They will tell you if it will fit and how it will look in the ad.

Ask the person who will be doing the printing, as the size of type/lettering used can greatly affect how many words will fit. They would be your best bet for most accurate answer.
