Open a Word document and type:

=rand (200,99)

Press Enter and wait 3 seconds...

That was a phrase used to test video card speeds and printer qualities in the early days of computing.

Creating pages of copy

There may be times when you want to create a page or pages of copy—for example to practice page formatting or page numbering—and there’s a shortcut in Word 2000 with which you can type as many sections of sentences of “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” as you need.

The formula is: =rand(any number,any number) and then press Enter.

Don’t put any spaces in between the = sign and the right paragraph mark. The first number will be the number of sections and the second is the number of sentences in each section. For example, if you enter =rand(3,5) you will have 3 sections of 5 sentences each.

You'll end up with copy that looks like this:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog has all 26 letters of the alphabet in it, thats why it is used.

Funny is that it also works here in Germany but with another sentence. A German one.

"Franz jagt im komplett verwahrlosten Taxi quer durch Bayern." - I'm just wondering who was thinking of such crap...well, at leats it has all 26 letters, too...but does it really have to be 275 pages?
