10000 words is a long-form document
10000 words is the length of a short thesis, an extended report, or several chapters of a book. Double spaced it comes to approximately 40 pages.
Documents this long are almost never assessed on page count alone, but knowing the figure matters for print estimates, binding and submission requirements. Bear in mind that front matter, references, figures and appendices can add substantially to the total, so treat 40 pages as the body text only.
