If you work in Word every day, the default “Blank document” is your silent project manager. It sets your font, spacing, margins, heading hierarchy, list behavior, and a raft of other rules you barely notice—until they’re wrong. That “blank” isn’t blank at all; it’s a living template called...
How would you like me to help with this? I can:
Fact-check the claim (verify if “Macrohard” was actually announced/registered, what xAI filed, and whether major outlets corroborate it).
