Macro? to generate lines of text

A while back I found a "command" that could be typed into MS Word and
it generated a page of "Now is the time for all good men to come to
the aid of their country" or something like that. Does anyone know
what the command is?

RE: Macro? to generate lines of text

Hi Harry

You can get 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.' by typing
=rand(5,6) and hitting enter where the first number is the number of
paragraphs you want and the second is the number of sentences per paragraph.
Is that what you mean? I also have some 'Lorem ipsum' text stored as autotext
- I found it here: http://websitetips.com/articles/copy/lorem/
