The text about "The quick brown fox bla bla bla..." is taken from the font
sample texts. If you go to win control panel and then choose fonts and
double click any of them you will see the same text. The text depends on the
language of your OS the spanish version of it is "El veloz murciélago hindú
comía feliz cardillo y kiwi." and the russian says something about the
french rolls. Did you guys know that you can even play a real game in
winword?

I would guess that this is probably a left-over from the initial testing
and
debugging.  The 1st number is the number of paragraphs and the second
number
is the number of times "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." is
repeated in the paragraph.

Not even Bill Gates can explain this one!
Try this:
Open a Word document and type this:

= rand (200,99)

Press enter and wait 3 seconds...
Microsoft will reward $$$ to anyone who can explain it.
