How to generate sample text in Microsoft Word

If you are working with a word template or a demonstration and want to generate some random text, then instead of typing some garbage you can use a nifty piece of code to generate random text.

To generate lorem ipsum text(latin):

  • Open a document in Microsoft Word
  • Type  =lorem() and press enter
  • You’ll see some sample lorem ipsum text block in your document

To generate english text:

  • Open a document in Microsoft Word
  • Type  = rand(num1,num2) : Here num1 is for the number of lines in one block and num2 is the number of times the block is to be repeated
  • Press Enter and you’ll see some sample English text paragraphs in your document

Note: You can use the (num1, num2) attributes for =lorem() command too. These commands work in Microsoft Word 2007 while =rand() command is known to work in earlier versions of Word too.
