Default =rand(), can I get different text?

In MS Words and other MS text programs =rand() produces paragraphs of
text (depending on the number inside the parentheses, default is 3
paragraphs). Is there a different code to use to get different text, instead
of "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."?

There is no way to get different text from =rand() (though in Word 2007 it
produces entirely different--and much more interesting and useful--text). At
some point when the site becomes available again, you can find an
alternative option at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/DummyText.htm.

Kiwi2000a:

You might consider using AutoText or AutoCorrect with your favorite chunk of
Lorem Ipsum.
