Microsoft Word 2007 has a simple shortcut that lets you generate Lorem Ipsum filler text with just a few keystrokes. You can enter the =lorem() function to generate a block of filler text, or provide arguments to the function to customize its output.
The complete function for adding a custom block of Lorem Ipsum filler text to your Word document is as follows:
=lorem(Number of paragraphs, Number of lines)
Just enter this function (starting with the equals sign) and hit Enter to generate your filler text. The parameters are optional, but allow you to specify how many paragraphs and lines of text should be generated. If this function does not work, click the Office Button, click “Word Options”, click “Proofing”, click “AutoCorrect Options”, and make sure “Replace text as you type” is checked off.
For more information about generating random text in your office documents, see the Microsoft Office KnowledgeBase article “How to insert sample text in Microsoft Office Word 2007”. It contains more information about the =lorem() function as well as instructions for inserting random text in older versions of Microsoft Word.
You can also generate Lorem Ipsum text using one of many online generators such as the Lipsum generator.
