Enter Sample Text

You can create sample or dummy text quickly by doing some typing and then using Copy and Paste, but Word also offers some automated ways, such as rand() function to generate random text, rand.old() function to generate the text “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” and lorem() function to generate the traditional “Lorem ipsum” placeholder text.

Rand() function to generate readable sample text

This function inserts random readable text, type =rand(x,y), where x and y are numbers, and press Enter. Word creates x number of paragraphs containing y number of sentences each. For example, =rand(10,5) creates 10 paragraphs, each of which contains 5 sentences.

Rand.Old() function to insert quick brown fox text

This function inserts “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” text, type =rand.old(x,y), where x and y are numbers, and press Enter. Word creates x number of paragraphs containing y number of sentences each. For example, =rand.old(10,5) creates 10 paragraphs, each of which contains 5 sentences.

Lorem() function to generate lorem ipsum text

This function generates the traditional “Lorem ipsum” placeholder text, type =lorem(x,y), where x and y are numbers, and press Enter. Word creates x number of paragraphs containing y number of sentences each. For example, =lorem(10,5) creates 10 paragraphs, each of which contains 5 sentences.

Note: The x, y parameters (number of paragraphs and sentences) are optional, you can use the above-mentioned functions without providing the parameters. For example: =rand(), =rand.old() and =lorem(). The different versions of Microsoft Word will generate different numbers of paragraphs and sentences for the content.
