Re: =RAND()

As others have indicated there is no way to disable the feature.

As far as I know the dummy text is only inserted when entering a paragraph mark (pressing Enter) and then only when the complete paragraph is "=RAND()" optionally surrounded by white space (spaces, non-breaking spaces and tabs).
I would think it pretty unusual - even when documenting Excel functions - for this to happen unintentionally, and on the occasions that it does, it can be undone very easily.

As a rule, if anything unexpected happens to me in any application, pressing Ctrl+Z is the first thing I try - 'I didn't want that, please undo it'. In this case that would have been all that was needed; a fairly minor inconvenience at worst, wouldn't you say?

I am using Word to document some Excel spreadsheets. In Excel
=RAND()
is a valid formula. When I enter this my my document, Word converts it into
gibberish.


How do I disable this feature?
