Generating Random Text in Word 2007

EdTech

Mary “MoodleFairy” Cooch tweeted a question this morning that intrigued me:

in Word2007 what’s that code you type for it to produce a whole load of random typing please?

My response, which I swiped from this My Digital Life blog entry:

to get random text, type “=lorem(n)” where n=number of pages of text you want. use “=rand(x,y)” where x=paragraphs,y=sentences

Type either one of those without quotes in the body of a document. nifty! I had no idea!
