How to print a selected text or specific pages on both sides of the paper

The printing of the selected text or specific pages in Microsoft Word on one side of the paper is easy. You need to open the Print view and select the right option and click the Print button. Printing on both sides for the printers with duplex mode requires you to know how the printer flips pages. Manual printing on both sides is a craft that you will need to master through careful experiments with your printer.

Aligning words and sentences in contracts, agreements, and other formal documents using multiple spaces and default tabulations is an ill practice.

Defining a custom tab stop in Microsoft Word is a precise and straightforward alternative to counting spaces and tabs.
