was sent this via e-mail this morning. quite odd.

Open a new Word document and type exactly as below:

= rand (200,99)

then click on "enter"
Quote:
Rand is not an easter egg, it is a feature. It helps to visualise sample text when you are doing layout. Read microsoft?s KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=157373

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 =rand() function has the following syntax =rand(p,s)

where p is the number of paragraphs and s is the number of sentences that you want to appear in each paragraph.
Quote:
The first integer appears to be the number of iterations of the sentence and the second the number of times the sentence is reproduced in a single paragraph.

For example, try: = rand (1,1) and = rand (1,2)
