How to generate Lorem text in Word

August 11, 2020

On 11 August 2016 I wrote an article about how to generate random Latin text, you know the stuff that looks like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Maecenas porttitor congue massa. Fusce posuere, magna sed pulvinar ultricies, purus lectus malesuada libero, sit amet commodo magna eros quis urna.

It’s useful to know about in case you need to fill a couple of pages of a document quickly in order to see what the formatting looks like (or to bulk up a report that you have to hand t a senior leader who you just know is not going to read it!)

Here’s the link to that article:
