Hi Bill. I'm not sure what you are looking for, exactly. But, if you
want to know what =RAND() does, here's a little summation
=RAND tells Word to insert Random text....Word chooses The quick brown
fox jumps over the lazy dog. And inserts three paragraphs, with the
sentence repeated five times per paragraph, by default.
If you want to change this, type =RAND(4) and this will give you four
paragraphs with the default 5 lines each.
Or, if you type =RAND(4,7), this will give you four paragraphs with 7
lines each.
However, if you are looking more for HOW this works, someone who knows
VBA will have to chime in here.
=RAND() also works in Excel
