Random Text Choices

To create random text in Microsoft Word, try these options:

To work with this feature, type =RAND() and hit [Enter]. The default is 5 paragraphs of 3 sentences each.
To customize your text, type =RAND(# of paragraphs, # of sentences) and press [Enter]. For example, use =RAND(10,6) for 10
paragraphs with 6 sentences each.

Latin Text Options

Let’s look at one more example. If Latin is more your style or you simply want to have a little bit different flourish to this, try these
options instead:

For Latin text, type =LOREM() and press [Enter].

As with the =RAND() options, you can also customize your random Latin text with =LOREM(# of paragraphs, # of sentences).
For example, use =RAND(8,5) for 8 paragraphs with 5 sentences each.
Try these choices to quickly create random or Latin text in Microsoft Word to
practice working with long documents and layout features.
