Word - hidden trick? can't find it or remember it

[dmbfanatpsu]

A few years ago one of my friends in college showed me a little secret trick in MS Word. What he did was type a sentence in word and hit the enter key and word generated like a 1000 lines of this poem or something like that.
Has anyone seen this before?
I think the sentence was like "the red fox runs" or something like that.

=rand(10,10)

- experiment with the parameters (numbers)

thanks,
but it was more like a sentence that the programmers at MS programmed in that when you type it and hit enter it returns a poem?

I don't know about any poems but, in earlier versions of Word there were some hidden tricks (or "Easter Eggs"). There are not any longer any such undocumented features because MS have had to commit to this in order to be certifed for use in various US government departments. Of course, "documented" does tend to mean different things to different people

Enjoy,
Tony

As Roy and Skip stated, use

=rand(10,10)

and it will insert The quick brown fox... The first number is the number of repeats of the sentence in a paragraph; the second number is the number of paragraphs.
