Ah, the old Lorem Ipsum trick! Thanks. I usually waited until the end to try out formatting, now I can do it up front. Much better. Where do you find this stuff. Do you have a life outside of MicroSoft?

Thanks LegalOfficeGuru! I am glad you find this trick useful and since you have been nice to me, here is another trick for you:
“=rand(n)” where ‘n’ is a number. You will create whole sections with sentences which this time…make sense! Enjoy!

Another one of those cool undocumented features! I’ve always kept a text file with the “lorem ipsum” text in it to use as placeholder text for web design, content estimating, etc., but now with this trick, I have it at my fingertips. Thanks!
