Hi austechies

 

While we're having fun with Word-its quirks and otherwise-here is a neat
feature if you need a lot of text in a mad hurry (as you might, for example,
if you wanted to experiment with some feature of the product). Type:

 

=rand(p,s) and press Enter

 

where p = the number of paragraphs you want and s = the number of sentences
you want in each paragraph.

 

Thus =rand(150,13) + <Enter> gives you 150 paragraphs each with 13 sentences
in them (randomly imported from the online help). That's about 60 pages of
text to play with.

 

Have fun.
