Upendra Singhai writes:: This is not at egg. This is documented at support.microsoft.com/support/ kb/articles/Q180/6/85.ASP IT SAYS: Word includes a way to quickly insert sample text into a document. To do this, type the following =rand() and then press ENTER. The inserted sample text is as follows: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. NOTE: This feature is disabled when the "Replace text as you type" option is turned off. (To turn this option off, click AutoCorrect on the Tools menu, click the AutoCorrect tab, and click to clear the "Replace text as you type" check box.) MORE INFORMATION By default, each paragraph contains five sentences. You can control how many paragraphs and sentences you want by adding numbers inside the parentheses. The =rand() function has the following syntax =rand(p,s) where p is the number of paragraphs and s is the number of sentences you want to appear in each paragraph.; 179 of 194 people found this comment helpful.

dinnerbone writes:: In microsoft office 2007 BETA, =rand() now says: On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. You can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document building blocks. When you create pictures, charts, or diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look. You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document text by choosing a look for the selected text from the Quick Styles gallery on the Home tab. You can also format text directly by using the other controls on the Home tab. Most controls offer a choice of using the look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly. To change the overall look of your document, choose new Theme elements on the Page Layout tab. To change the looks available in the Quick Style gallery, use the Change Current Quick Style Set command. Both the Themes gallery and the Quick Styles gallery provide reset commands so that you can always restore the look of your document to the original contained in your current template.; 12 of 20 people found this comment helpful.
