Somewhere I have some Macro code I created for a lorem ipsum section. It was
pretty simple. I just recorded a cut and paste, edited the code, then inserted
the lorem ipsum text I wanted into that code.
I think the reason I did that was to prevent autotext bloat (I think I created
the macro because I crashed Word 2000 once using it as autotext or there was a
limit on the number of characters or something) ... Anyway... It was a long
time ago. In a galaxy far far away.
People are welcome to it if I find it.
Warren.
