=rand()

or

=rand(x,y)

/*where x and y are any numbers*/

It's a shortcut for creating dummy text. I think it was originally put in by
the Word developers and never taken out because it's sometimes useful. x and
y are respectively the number of paragraphs and number of sentences per
paragraph. They can't be ANY numbers -- there are limits, but I can't
remember what they are. Do a Google -- there are any number of references.


x and y can't be ANY numbers -- the limits are documented
