Here’s a great tip if you’re using MS Word and need some dummy copy. Type this into word…

=lorem()
and as if by magic 58 words of lorem ipsum appear.

The command can be modified. If you include numbers in the brackets the first one tells Word how many paragraphs you want and the second is the number of sentences in each paragraph. For instance, if you type =lorem(4,5) you get 4 paragraphs each one with 5 sentences. It might actually be my all-time favourite features of Word.

That is awesome, I can't wait to try it at work today. Also bookmarked for future reference.

=lorem(4,5)
+++++
WOW!! It even works on my iPad. And it got it right, 4 paragraphs, 5 sentences each.

But ... it provides line breaks at the end of paragraphs instead of carriage returns. At least on the iPad.

Still a great feature. I didn’t know you could execute functions in Word. That is worth looking into. There must be others.
