Why is rand 200 99 turn to The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog?

  Improve

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" contains all letters of the alphabet and is therefor a good way to test a font.
Why this command shows it for hundreds of pages I don't know either..
"Rand" makes me think there is something random involved..but I can't find it.




rand i probably random yes... buuuut the number (200,99) indicates :

200 paragraphs

99 times the sentence per paragraph

i tried it with all kind of combos... the easiest is =rand(1,1)
try it your self ;)

I also tried with different combos, but the no.of paras should be less than 200 and the no. sentences per para should be less than 99 ie.
for eg
=rand (300,100) will not give the expected output.


UPDATE: In Word 2007, using =rand(99,99) produces:
"On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. You can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document building blocks. When you create pictures, charts, or diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look. You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document text by choosing a look for the selected text from the Quick Styles gallery on the Home tab. You can also format text directly by using the other controls on the Home tab. Most controls offer a choice of using the look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly. To change the overall look of your document, choose new Theme elements on the Page Layout tab. To change the looks available in the Quick Style gallery, use the Change Current Quick Style Set command. Both the Themes gallery and the Quick Styles gallery provide reset commands so that you can always restore the look of your document to the original contained in your current template." over and over again.
