The step to add body-txt content using "lorem=()" does not work. How important is this? This is not a real description during the tutorial of how this step runs and how it can be setup.
I thought I followed the tutorial guide lines ... I first created a text-box and then typed "lorem=()" into the text-box and the text box would not auto-fill with the desired text.
The tutorial just needed 3 sections of text and I took care of that, but I thought that was a cool way to enter a predefined set of text.
Is there a tutorial or description someplace on how to use that feature?
Hey, Steve, thanks for this link. It includes some of the more "creative" lorem ipsum generators. I've been meaning to look these up - and now I have them.

Welcome to the community, Ray!
And thanks for pointing that out. We've discussed it a little more over here, and you'll need to use a text box. Is that working for you?

Hi Ray!
I'm guessing you just mistyped. The equal sign must be in front:
Duh ..... thanks!! That did the trick
Question ..... is using this process described anyplace in more detail?
This is a MS Word (VBA) feature. You can see more parameters as well as another feature =rand() which also works here:
