Today we are going to see a functionality that I loved about Microsoft Word , I needed to generate an automatic and random text to fill in, and beyond looking for the typical lorem impsum that is used everywhere as random text, it occurred to me to look for an option, to see if Microsoft Word had it and effectively, just add the rand function:

The syntax of the rand function is rand followed by a parenthesis and two parameters, the first refers to the number of paragraphs we want and the second to the number of lines per paragraph, so if we write:

= rand (2,4)

A text with two paragraphs will be generated and each paragraph will have four lines.

The random text will be as follows:

On the Insert tab, the galleries include elements designed to coordinate with the overall appearance of the document. You can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, covers and other blocks of document creation. When you create images, flow charts or diagrams, they also coordinate with the current appearance of your document. You can easily change the format of the selected text in the document by choosing an appearance for the selected text from the Quick Styles gallery on the Home tab.

You can also format the text directly using other controls on the Home tab. Most controls offer the possibility to use the appearance of the current theme or a format that you specify directly. To change the overall appearance of your document, choose new Theme items on the Page Layout tab. To change the available appearances in the Quick Styles gallery, use the Change Quick Styles set command.

The parameters are optional, if they are not included, the number of default paragraphs is 3 and the number of lines is also three.

It is a very useful functionality, especially to fill in text and operate with it.
