It does work. It must be typed at the beginning of a paragraph, and you must
press Enter at the end. Note that you can also use =lorem() in Word 2007 to get lorem ipsum text instead of the default text. -- Suzanne S.

Here's what you need to type:
=rand(p,s) Enter (p= the number of paragraphs you want, s= the number of sentences) "Paje2" wrote: The random text generator which I have used in all previous versions of Word =rand() does not work in Word 2007. Why? I'm told it does work - can I gt it going somehow? |

First, make sure you have AutoCorrect turned on. Go to Office button Word
Options Proofing AutoCorrect Options and check the box for "Replace text as you type". If that's unchecked, the =rand() is turned off too. Then make sure you're typing =rand() at the first character of a new paragraph and pressing Enter immediately after the closing parenthesis. Also try =lorem(), and try entering numbers of paragraphs and sentences like =rand(4,3) or =lorem(6). -- Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
