Pasting random text into Microsoft Word
Ever need to put some text into a document quickly? Maybe you need to demonstrate a feature or want some
filler. I used to
type
qwerty or
asdf over
and over again. Microsoft Word has a quick and easy way to do it. Just type
=rand() on
a blank line and press Enter. Word will replace that line with:
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.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
The quick brown

The quick brown

The quick brown

The quick brown

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
The quick brown

The quick brown

The quick brown

This feature works in Microsoft Outlook when using Word to
compose e-mail messages. In addition you can do the same trick in Microsoft
PowerPoint.
