Word Tips & Tricks

This trick is simple. If you want some example or demo text then try this:

  • start Microsoft Word 2007 or later
  • type "=lorem()" followed by Enter
  • Word should insert some Lorem Ipsum text (pseudo random Latin)

If it does not then check the following:
Office Button -> Word Options -> Proofing -> Auto Correct Options... -> AutoCorrect -> Replace text as you type

There is also rand() as well, which works in Word 2003.
