Re: Automatic Text Generation

Hi Dawn,

Typing =rand() {Enter}
will generate a text paragraph in Word (it varies
by localised language versions of Word as to what
the text is). You can modify the result by including
two values =rand(#-of=paragraphs,#=of=sentences-in-each-paragraph)

You can also generate then paste text into Word
from this website http://lipsum.com/

I remember a long time ago.... that I could type a code or select something
in Word that would generate a one page document of text that I used to do
demonstrations for my students. I think it was "Now is the time for all good
men...". I can't seem to find how I did that. I know I did not create an
auto text entry, nor was it a template. I beleive it was a built in macro
but have poked through the macros and there are so many I'm not sure it isn't
there. Of course I can build one quickly but I want to use it no matter what
worksite I happen to be at doing calls. Anyone remember this? I think it
was around 1996. Thanks for any help you can give me. >>
