Open up Word.

Type in =rand(200,99)

Hit enter a few times.


An "Easter Egg" apparently. Anyone know anything else that is similar to this?

Not really, it would just crash word and eat up your processor speed.

Try it.

could you not put in =rand(9999999999999999999999999999, 9999999999999999999999999999) and crash the computer?

I feel a macrovirus coming on.

The rand function is just a thingy to make some text to see how text will look in a document. They use it in design places where sommething will have text in it so they know what the end result will look like with text there (the quick brown fox sentence contains every letter of the alphabet so it is a good trial sentence).

The bracketed bit denoted how many of the sentences there are.

=rand(1,1) only does the sentence once.
