Microsoft Word has had a random feature (sometimes referred to as an Easter Egg) for quite some time. It is used to quickly generate large blocks of text for testing purposes. Up until Microsoft Word 2007 when you entered in =rand(12) (and then pressed enter) you would receive 12 five-sentence paragraphs that constantly repeated the same sentence:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
However, if you use the same command in Word 2007 it will output 12 unique paragraphs that describe the new features in Office 2007. The first paragraph will look something like this:
On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. You can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document building blocks. When you create pictures, charts, or diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look.
If you are looking for a unique way to explain Office 2007 to your friends then maybe you should try this. You can tell them that you typed it up for them. It might impress them even more if you “type” it up right in front of them.

Cool “feature”. Thanks for the info. I can’t wait till I have time to play around with Office 2007. Am in the process of training my replacement at work and moving to new job in Texas. Same overall company, different plant and promotion.
I do really like the ribbon bar though. Just finding where the basics are, like opening a file, save, etc. Found them and really like the new layout with them.
The help section for Office 2007 is also really coming along so if you have questions on where to find stuff you can just do a search. I have had to do that countless times.
I do like the help for it. It is way ahead of the 2003 help system.
