CrazyIvan 0 #9 December 11, 2003 What you saw is what's call a 'Easter Egg' lots of applications (not necessarily Microsoft apps) have them, it's a lot of fun.

pilotdave 0 #10 December 11, 2003 It's an easter egg in that it's an undocumented feature, but it's there for a reason. It could actually be very useful to some people. Whe you need a whole bunch of text real quick to set up formatting, it's a lot easier than typing pages of dsfjhdsfhds... Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riddler 0 #12 December 11, 2003 *cough* QuoteOne of these is =rand(), which is sometimes represented as an Easter egg, sometimes feared as a possible virus. It is neither. It is a Word function (undocumented in the online Help but documented in the Microsoft Knowledge Base) that can be useful in certain circumstances. *cough* Damn, I'm doing the know-it-all thing again, aren't I?
