Easter Egg Found! (fake text)
Apr 16, 2019
As many people know, there is an Easter Egg in Microsoft Word that will give you 'fake text'. I'll take a moment to explain that, just in case you weren't aware.
On a blank line in a Word doc, type the following: =rand(3,5)
Where 3 represents the number of paragraphs you want, and 5 represents the number of sentences per paragraph (you can use any number combination).
PRESS ENTER
Tada! You have 3 paragraphs of text containing 5 sentences each. This is handy for demonstration/training/testing purposes!
So, for grins, today I tried it in a StoryLine text box.
You sly foxes, you!!!! (it works; just not the same text as MSWord - but beggars shouldn't be choosers, AmIRight?)

you can also try: =lorem()
Thanks, Michael - I hadn't realized they kept that option. Older versions of Word ONLY showed the Latin words, and I was so delighted when they actually started giving us helpful information.
