AI Thread Summary
To resolve the issue of excessive left margin space when printing an essay from Microsoft Word, users can adjust the margins through the "Page Setup" option found under the File menu.

Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term.
