| Sorry to bust magic # 3 but here is the How it happens:
Article contributed by Suzanne Barnhill Like jokes, urban legends, and virus hoaxes, tips about Words little-used or undocumented features periodically makes their way around the Internet, occasioning a wave of postings in Word newsgroups. One of these is =rand(), which is sometimes represented as an Easter egg, sometimes feared as a possible virus. It is neither. It is a Word function (undocumented in the online Help but documented in the Microsoft Knowledge Base) that can be useful in certain circumstances. The rand function The Microsoft Knowledge Base article How to Insert Sample Text into a Document in Word [212251] explains the use and syntax of the function: Microsoft Word allows you to quickly insert sample text into a document. To do this, type =rand() in the document where you want the text to appear, and then press ENTER.The inserted text is that hardy perennial: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, which contains every letter in the English alphabet. By default, the sample text contains three paragraphs, each containing five sentences. You can control how many paragraphs and sentences appear by adding numbers inside the parentheses, for instance: =rand(3,4) The first number is the number of paragraphs, and the second the number of sentences per paragraph. If you omit the second number, you get five sentences in each paragraph. So, for example: =rand(3,4) inserts three, four-sentence paragraphs, while: =rand(10) inserts ten, five-sentence paragraphs. The maximum number for either parameter is 200 and may be lower depending on the number of paragraphs and sentences specified. For instance, if you specify 200 paragraphs, then the maximum number of sentences per paragraph you can specify is 99: =rand(200, 99) If you specify 200 sentences per paragraph, then the maximum number of paragraphs you can specify is 99. Admittedly, this function serves a useful purpose for filling a page when youre designing a template and want to see how it will look with text in it. Its also easy to see how users can be alarmed and fear this is a virus when someone suggests they try =rand(200,99), which quickly blows up into a giant document! (Incidentally, part of the instructions in some versions is to Make sure there is a space between = and rand and a space between rand and (200,99). This actually makes no difference: the function works equally well with and without spaces.) A better method of creating dummy text Although the rand function is quick and easy, the text it produces is not very natural. All the paragraphs are the same length, and, because every sentence is the same, the lines will tend to break in the same places. The result is that some possible formatting problems may be masked. Another, more useful, possibility, therefore, is to use Greek or lorem ipsum text. Because this kind of dummy text is very commonly used by designers (because it gives a natural look without distracting content), youve probably seen examples of it. Microsoft even used it in the Microsoft TrueType Font Assistant (version 1.1) in Windows 3.x. According to the Microsoft Knowledge Base article: What lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Means (Q114222): The phrase Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet appears in Microsoft TrueType Font Assistant for each example of the fonts available. This phrase has the appearance of an intelligent Latin idiom. Actually, its nonsense .... It's used because the letters involved and the letter spacing in those combinations reveal at their best the weight, design, and other important features of the typeface.Although the phrase is nonsense, the article continues, it does have a long history. If youre curious about that history, follow the link above. The Lorem ipsum text is also discussed at The Free Online Dictionary of Computing, which adds that: The point of using this text, or some other text of incidental intelligibility, is that it has a more-or-less normal (for English and Latin, at least) distribution of ascenders, descenders, and word lengths, as opposed to just using abc 123 abc 123, Content here content here, or the like. If you want to use the text, heres how:
Heres the text: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.One caveat about the above sample: it does not contain every letter in the English alphabet. If it is important for testing purposes that you include every letter, then you are better off with quick brown foxes. | ||||||||||
