Try this out...it's pretty sweet.

Not even Bill Gates can explain this one!

Open a word document and type this:

= rand (200,99)

Press Enter and wait three seconds....

thats the font quote...that sentance contains all 26 letters...probably an easter egg...the equivalent of a secret code in software

First number represents number of paragraphs.
Second is the number of time the sentence is printed in each paragraph.

As for the sentence, its a well known sentence that contains all the letters of the alphabet, only once each.

probably some debuging code.

yep
it's so that they can generate a bunch of text that countains every letter to test fonts and such.

that's a built in function... a text filler; it's a good tool to have to test every character in the alphabet and for filling up text bodys in websites when building them :)


here's another built in "Trick" that you might wanna check out if you have excel 97 ;)
