Lorem Ipsum

Glad you got that figured out Brett :) I use it often as well.

Did you know if exist some others code or functions code like this [=Lorem()] into storyline 2?

I seem to remember that inserting [=Anderson_Kuhlmann()] inserts a variety of beautifully designed and pedagogically correct learning tracks...

Hi Stefano

=rand()  will also give you some random text within storyline

LOL

Haha, David, I'll admit I actually tried this after Bruce made this post :D

I just tried it, too... Maybe David should get this added.

:)

This is great! Happy Friday!

Hi Helen, over a = rand () there are other codes for other purposes for Storyline 2?

Hi Stefano,

Not that I know of the 'lorem' and 'rand' shortcuts are standard Windows shortcuts that work in Word & PPT as well as Storyline.

You could research to see if there are more of those and test them in Storyline

Helen

I just checked and the variables that are available in Word also work:

=lorem(p,l) 

Where "p" equals the number of paragraphs and "l" equals the number of sentences.

=rand(p,l) also works - it inserts "the quick brown fox..."

Thanks for popping in to share Jim :)

I have the hardest time getting this to work. Seems like sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. I can't see the lorem ipsum or random text when I preview or publish the course.

Is there a trick to getting this to work consistently?

Feature request sent :D 

It does not work for me; do I have an old version? 

What exactly do I have to do? Insert Text Box; then type Lorem(); ENTER; correct?

Insert text box and type "=Loren()"

You'll want to enter it just as follows:

=lorem() 

If you want multiple paragraphs you can put a number in the (   )  

There are also a lot of random Lorem ipsum text generators and here is a cool article by Tom with ideas. 

Thank you! I was missing the '=' sign. 

No worries - I honestly forget sometimes too! But the funny text generators also can be fun...and now I am dreaming of bacon... :) 

This [=articulate()] could be an awesome easter egg, guys. :D I knew about the lorem one, but not the rand one. (I vaguely remember the rand one from word years ago, but didn't find it particularly useful).

I know, I love this simple little feature :)

I  typed =lorem() into a text box but nothing happened. Does anyone have any idea why?

Hi CJ!

After typing =lorem() , press the Enter key. This is what should happen:

Let me know if that works for you!
