Have you ever wanted to preview a particular font or layout to see how it would look in your document, but you need some "filler" text in your document to test?
By simply
following the directions, you can add "The quick brown fox jumps over the
lazy dog." as many times as you want in your document.
Determine
how many paragraphs and how many sentences of the above phrase you would like.
Then type =rand (1,2) replacing the "1" and "2" with the
numbers needed for your desired outcome. The first number represents the number
of paragraphs that will be created, and the second number represents the number
of sentences in each paragraph.
For
example, by typing =rand (2,3) and pressing the enter key, the following text
will appear in your document:
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.
