Well the x coordinate determines how many sequences of y will print. Y determines how many sentences for each X will print. That is very interesting! Now if only I could have gotten my typing teacher in high school to use that very sentence on the test, I would have gotten an A instead of a C.

Egg Title : About the RAND egg How to crack it: Apparently a lot of people don't get the RAND easter egg, because everywhere you look, you only see the two following examples = rand() or = rand (200,99).
The function works like this, = rand (,). Value1 stands for the number of paragraphs you want to create and value 2 stands for the number of times you want the line 'The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog' to appear in te paragraph. P.E. if you use =rand(10,5) you would get 10 paragraphs, each contaning the line 5 times. So in the standard examples you would get 1 line in 1 paragraph and the other one; 200 paragraphs, each containing the line 99 times. Hope that clears it up for some people. It is used to create test documents. Quuite handy if you need to create several pages of text for testing purposes.

The rand “virus”: or how to insert dummy text into a document Like jokes, urban legends, and virus hoaxes, tips about Word’s little-used or undocumented features periodically makes their way around the Internet, occasioning a wave of postings in Word newsgroups. One of these is =rand(), which is sometimes represented as an Easter egg, sometimes feared as a possible virus. It is neither. It is a Word function (undocumented in the online Help but documented in the Microsoft Knowledge Base) that can be useful in certain circumstances.

The sentance that comes up is a test sentance programmers use because it has all the letters of the alphabet in it.

Absolutely nothing happens. Well, aside from seeing "=rand(20,99)" on a line on the screen by itself, that is. Keep in mind that there are at least four versions of Word out in the wild...
