Creating Test / Filler / Example text from Microsoft Word #SharePoint #SP2010 #in ‘#MSOffice

I always forget the following link when I want some example text in my projects for Plain / Rich Text fields (in Lists and InfoPath Forms), Word Documents (Document Management etc.)

Quick Reference

Within Word type the following:

  • =rand()
  • =lorem()

These produce a single paragraph, but the function is configurable via the following parameters:

  • =rand(insert the number of paragraphs, insert the number of sentences)
  • =lorem(insert the number of paragraphs, insert the number of sentences)

Example: =lorem(1,6)
