When the computer screen reports "pages used", what does that mean? How do I reduce the number of pages used?

You need to provide more details to get an answer. What application is reporting "pages used"? Why would you care about reducing it?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
