Favorite Word Geek Toys

Postby NerdyWoman » Thu Jun 07, 2012 5:20 pm

Hi all! I'm new to groovyPost.com, but I come with a gift. I signed up because Steve asked readers to share favorite Office tips. My favorite has been in the app since Office 97 that I know of...

If you've ever needed to test Word for formatting, file functions, etc., you don't have to use real documents that might contain sensitive information or that might get edited. :O

At the cursor point, type "=rand(x,y)" where x = # of paragraphs you want and y = # of sentences in each paragraph. Leaving arguments blank defaults to 3 paragraphs of 3 sentences each.

If you'd rather have nonsense type, try =lorem() instead.

Oh, go ahead. Try it!

NerdyWoman!

Great tip! That's a great tip for blogging also when you need filler content for a new site.

Thanks again!
