Generate random text with Rand formula
If you want to use random text for page layout or presentation purposes, you can use the random content creation formula provided by Word. However, there are some notes when using this formula, depending on the amount of text you need to use.
The first simple method is to use the following formula:
= Rand ()
It will automatically create five paragraphs of text, each consisting of three sentences.

You can change the amount of random text that Word creates by entering the number between parentheses. To change you will use the formula = Rand (x, y) where x is the number of paragraphs and y is the number of sentences in each paragraph. For example, if you want to create 7 paragraphs of text, 4 paragraphs each, use the following formula:
= Rand (7.4)
Create fake text with Lorem formula
Word can also create dummy text in the same way. When using readable English text (as created with the rand formula), it can distract readers if you just want viewers to pay attention to document design.
This method is similar to the previous method but creates meaningless text, avoiding confusion for viewers. To create a dummy text, type formula = Lorem () and press Enter , Word will automatically create 5 dummy paragraphs, each containing 3 sentences.

You can edit the number of paragraphs as in rand formula. If you want to create 4 paragraphs with 9 sentences per paragraph, you can use the following formula and press Enter .
= Lorem (4.9)
Note that, when using this method, sentences tend to be much shorter, so you should consider increasing the number of sentences and paragraphs in the formula to better suit your needs.
Create Quick Brown Fox text with the old Rand formula
'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.' (Translated as an agile brown fox jumping over a lazy dog) is it familiar to you? Previously when using the rand formula, Word created this pangram (a sentence or phrase containing all English letters). However, it was replaced with the current text when Office 2007 was born.
However, it does not disappear completely, you can recreate this sentence by typing the following command and pressing Enter .
= rand.old ()
By default, it will create three paragraphs of text, each containing 4 sentences.

However, like other methods, you can enter the number of paragraphs and sentences of each paragraph in parentheses. For example, = rand.old (5.5) will create five paragraphs that repeat each sentence five times.
