ADVERTISEMENTS



If you’re working on MS Word and need to insert a sample piece of pseudo text to demonstrate something, there’s a quick way to do so. Just by typing in a command and pressing enter, you can fill up your document with sample, lorem ipsum paragraphs easily.

Here’s how:

  • Open your document in MS Word
  • Place your cursor where you want the Lorem Ipsum text to appear, type =lorem() and press Enter
  • You’ll now see sample, pseudo latin Lorem Ipsum paragraphs in your document, like this:

    • How to create or generate lorem ipsum text in MS Word 2007?

  • If you want a specific number of paragraphs of lorem ipsum text and want each paragraph to contain a particular number of lines, you can use the attributes of the =lorem() command to do the job for you. For instance, if you want 5 paragraphs of lorem ipsum text generated with each paragraph containing 2 sentences, you should type =lorem(5,2)

That is how you generate Lorem Ipsum in Microsoft Word. If you’ve got anything to say, tell us in the comments section below. Please note that the above commands are known to work with Microsoft Word 2007. If you’re using an earlier version of Word, you can try the =rand() command.

    Wow — I had no idea that MS Word was capable of doing such a thing. Are there any other functions, or perhaps a reference list of functions, available for word/office?

    I tried something like =sum(5+2), but it didn’t work, so I assume most excel-like functions aren’t going to work…
