It is commonly used in formal or academic contexts, such as discussing essay requirements or newspaper layout constraints. While it sounds professional, it is perfectly acceptable in everyday office or school settings when discussing written work.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe the duration of a speech or a video, as it is strictly related to written text. Use 長度 for general length or 時間 for time duration instead.
