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.
