Here is an interesting one for you...
Open a new Word document and type:
= rand (200,99)
then hit "enter"
Wait for three seconds and look again...
Not even Microsoft people can explain this one....!!!!

they call them "easter eggs" because they're hidden there by developers. word 97 had a cool hidden pinball game, and i think it was excel that had a pretty cool (but primitive) flight simulator.
i found the pinball game on teh site i linked to below. here are the steps if you happen to have word 97 (might work in more recent versions, i haven't tested).
google "microsoft easter eggs" and you'll find more. have fun!
Open a new document
2. Type "Blue"
3. Select word
4. Go to Format -> Font
5. Choose Font Style Bold, Color Blue
6. Type " " (space) after word "Blue"
7. Go to Help -> About
8. Ctrl-Shift-Left click the Word icon/banner
9. Use Z for left flipper, M for right flipper, and ESC to exit

Yes its quite a neat little feature. Its used to test word documents, as filler text and also to test fonts.
The first number is the amount of lines, and the second the amount of times the sentence is printed per line.
The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is a sentence that contains all 26 letters of the roman alphabet. As such, it's a convenient test phrase when testing things like fonts and markup.
It was programmed in there by Microsoft for test text. Its similar to a "macro".
Hope this helps

A product key is a variety that encompasses a software so as that this technique is familiar with you probably did not replica it off of the internet. With Microsoft observe it enables you to apply it 20 situations previously you're easily required to pass into one. i could touch your computers corporation for the help. only provide them a decision and it would be no issue for them that can assist you. of course, do this given which you especially asked for microsoft homestead windows 2007. in any different case this is in basic terms a tribulation and you're able to desire to purchase it. yet they don't ask for product keys with trials so i'm beneficial they might help you get your key.

in programming =rand is just a way to bring up random anything
then the brackets are used to define a parameter thus
=rand (200,99) is bring up a random line of words/numbers/letters which is the (200,99)

if you type "= rand (1,1)" it only shows the sentence once, "= rand (1,2)" shows it twice, etc... (this was on a Mac).
I do know that the sentence contains every letter of the alphabet.
