The =rand() function has the following syntax:
=rand(p,s)
where p is the number of paragraphs and s is the number of sentences that you want to appear in each paragraph.
So =rand(200, 90) will give you 200 paragraphs, each with "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." repeated 90 times.

The makers of Microsoft office have put lots of 'Easter Eggs' in their programmes. In some editions you could load up Pinball from word by typing something (can't remember what) and going to 'About' and a flying game from Excel. This meant we wasted a lot of time in computer classes as pinball wasn't on the school network, and everyone thought it was amazing I found it out, This is probably one of their less fun Easter Eggs. I'm sorry that I can't remember the codes to the other Easter Eggs, but if you search the web/ ask it in another question you'll find them out.

How on earth have you come across that. The sentance that is repeated over and over again, (the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog) was a typing sentance used when I learnt to type as it contains every letter of the alphabet. If you can type it without looking at the keyboard, you know where all the letters are.

By placing an equals sign in dront of it, you are giving the programme an order.
It's the same for excell, if you type in =sum(10-6) it will work out the sim for you.

It repeatedly types out:
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." over a span of 214 pages. Why it does it, is a mystery.

Why need to explain? Its one of those things that just happens.
It could be programming encoding.
