If you’re a Microsoft Word user, there’s something you may not know. In addition to the standard features of the word processor, Word also includes an Easter egg that can help you speed up your work. To find the Easter egg, open Word and click on the File menu and then select “Open in new window.” Then select “Microsoft Word.” The Easter egg will now be displayed in a new window. To access it, just type “word” into the text box and hit return.
This should work in any version of Microsoft Word… Just open up a new document, and then type in =rand() into the document:
And then hit enter… voila! Three paragraphs of text will be instantly added…
You can add more than 3 paragraphs or more than 5 sentences per paragraph by using the following syntax
=rand(paragraphs,sentences)
For instance, for 6 paragraphs of 20 sentences each, you would use:
=rand(6,20)
Update
You can also use =lorem() instead of rand(), with the same syntax if you wanted to insert the Lorem Ipsum text instead of completely random text. Thanks to will in the comments for the update!
I’ve also added an example of the lorem ipsum generator.
Enjoy!
