How does this work?

[Kenny]

Not an XP question but I was sent it by someone and I'm trying to figure out
what's happening, does anyone know?

Open a word document and type:
= rand (200,99)
Press Enter and wait for 3 seconds....

It's an easter egg programmed by the developer's of MS word.

once u hit enter you get 235 page of just "The quick brown fox jumps over
the lazy dog. "

Chris,

It is not an "Easter Egg" they are not allowed in the newer products for
various reasons.
The =rand() function is for insertion of dummy text and is covered in the
Knowledgebase Article others have posted.

=rand(s,p)<Enter> results in 'p' paragraphs of 's' sentences each
saying:
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. "
It's probably the Word 2002 Easter Egg - see
http://www.hitech.com.au/easter/
(I must check it out myself!)

Hope this helps!
