Creating Random Text in MS Word

There are times where one needs to quickly generate text in a document to fill a column or to test a layout and you don’t want to cut and paste from another document.  Well there is a solution.

Here’s how to generate random text in Word:

On a blank line in a Microsoft Office Word document, type =rand followed by (PC,SC)(where PC stands for paragraph count and SC stands for sentence count) and then press ENTER. For example, =rand(2,3) will create two paragraphs of three sentences each.

Word inserts some random text based on your specification. You can use this new text for testing form controls such as text boxes or paragraph alignments.
