Just for your information: this phrases contains almost all letters from the alphabyte, so if you want to check out how letters look using different fonts or if you want to see that all letters printed correctly - you can do 2 thinks: 1. Type ABCDEF...Zabcdef...z 2. Or type more intuitive phraze =) Sorry for english itsn't my native one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Goltz" <goltz () NFR COM> To: <VULN-DEV () SECURITYFOCUS COM> Sent: Friday, March 16, 2001 4:54 PM Subject: Re: Bug or just having fun in Word
= rand (200,99)I would guess that this is probably a left-over from the initial testing
and
debugging."How to Insert Sample Text into a Document" http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q157/3/73.asp Given that Microsoft documents it (albeit obscurely), I seriously doubt
that they are paying anyone to tell them how and why it works.
What I want to know is, why does everyone always type "The quick brown fox
jumps over the lazy dog" (34 letters) and not "Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz" (30) or even "Glyphs cwm fjord-bank vext quiz" (26 letters)?
