A Trick

nothing really amazing, just a little thing for word.

Open up an instance of word and type in (or cut and paste):

=rand(200,99)

then hit enter

:D This is so funny! No wonder Microsoft charges so much for their products, their programmers are being paid to do crap like this!

I wish I had that job!

235 pages! :p

Before I do this, can you tell me what it does. Sorry, but with Ratman2's post, I'm kinda tipsy with doing something I don't know of. Please alert me if it is anything bad. Thanks!

It's nothing bad, but I don't want to spoil it...

Nvm, I got it. God, the hell did that happen? Did they put that in their purposely?

WHOOOOHAHAHAAAA, this is SO funny. Microsoft really did it this time. LOL

That's some messed up stuff...

What exactly jumps over the lazy dog now?...:P

..called easter eggs ... drop over to http://www.eeggs.com/ to see some of the other silly things programmers hide in various software, OS etc.... obviously for their own amusement and for others to try and find.

Crazy Microsoft :p

And some people actually wonder why M$ has so many damn holes in their products... That was funny :D

that is microsoft. somtimes do silly thing. but it really funny

Good one, Tedob1, some high-priced MS programmer sure didn't have enough to do that's for sure. Quite some time ago i found a glitch something like this but it was wickedly critical of their boss. wish i could run across it. But it was only a short paragraph as i remember, not 158 pages!! :D

even works in word 2002, wouldn't you think that they would at least fix it if it is a bug, though it could be like the access maze thing?

You guys ARE aware that you're passing it parameters? The second is the number of times to repeat it per line, the first is how many different lines there would be (without word wrap, that is.)

So you guys ARE the ones telling it to spam you. :)

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

<< Whatz so special about the above line i have heard it a lot of times with M$ >>

Yeah, ive known about this for quite some time now.
Use it alot with customers here in tech support, although =rand(50) is a bit less painstaking ;P

r3b00+

Unfortunately I haven't been able to do this - because Im in Korea and using, not word 2002, but Hangul 2002.
I can read Korean but do not always know what everything means. Can someone show me exactly what to do - keeping in mind that I'm not on an english language OS.

Sorry to be a pain in the ass :confused:

So Terr, randnumb is the number of quick brown foxes to jump over lazy dogs?
