This is a super strange thing that happens in Microsoft word. This was discovered by an Indian and Microsoft is puzzled as to why it happens...

1 Open Microsoft word

2 Type =rand (200,99)

(dont forget to type the = too)
3 press Enter

Are you surprised by the result?
(u have to press Enter right after you typed in the stuff)

if this makes your day; don't forget to star this.lol

Ps

I learned this from a friend of mine who works for microsoft.

I tried changing the numbers around a bit and i still get the same result.(i mean the numbers within the brackets)

So the trigger for this set of result must be in the =rand(x,x) statement.

Daddyzgirl you are indeed correct! i was playing around with the numbers and came up with the same conclusion!

congrats!

the first #, (X,X) is the # of paragraphs. the second # is the number of times its repeted in each paragraph. ( I figured it out after I tried it)

it must be one of the easter eggs by Microsoft in Word.

try these too ...

flight simulator:

Open a new workbook

Press F5

Enter X97:L97 and press Enter

Press Tab once, to move to column M

Hold Control and Shift, then right-click the Chart Wizard icon on the Standard toolbar

Car racing game:

Boot Excel 2000

Under file menu, do 'Save as Web Page'.

Say 'Publish Sheet' and 'Add Interactivity'

Save to some htm page on your drive.

Load the htm page with IE. You should have Excel in the middle of the page.

Scroll to row 2000, column WC. Select row 2000, and tab so that WC is the active column.

Hold down Shift+Crtl+Alt and click the Office logo in the upper-left.

If you have DirectX, you will be playing what looks like spy hunter. Use the arrow keys to drive, space to fire, O to drop oil slicks, and when it gets dark, use H for your headlights.

A Random Function that means 200 Lines 99 Times. Works in most MS products.

=rand(x,y)
x is the number of paragraphs.
y is the number of sentences per paragraph

The sentence has changed in Word 2007.

This is not a 'bug' or a 'trick.' It's a feature. Let's say you've created a document layout and you want to see how the text would flow through your columns/margins/etc. Instead of typing dummy text, you can use this function.

Wow! I'm surprised Microsoft don't know why that happens as it must have been programmed to do that. Without giving too much away, that is a very famous sentence for a particular reason (if I say people will know what it does!) so Microsoft must have at some point put it in there???

Starred!

I was rather skeptical at first to type anything. I was thinking that it would mess up my computer. After I saw that others had tried it, I took a chance. Cool. I'm wondering about that racing game the guy mentioned in Excel.

Hmmm... it seem that the first # is the number of lines it comes out on and the second # is the number of times it is repeated one one line. But anyway, what is the point??? Just a random trick, I guess... an 'easter egg' in Word.

I must say, I am amazed. I wonder why Microsoft hasn't patched that up yet, though. Maybe Microsoft likes having weird secrets.

sex is great!! although i dont want to influence you to much because if your young, you should really wait to pop the cherry :P I do all kinds of things in the bedroom!! fantasy and role playing, i like to dress up in skimpy clothes, i have a high heel fetish and that can be kinda kinky in bed. I like to orgasm during sex, it feels great!! better than masturbating alone :P Iv done it in public before as well, on the beach is really good i would like to do that again, and at the movies but it was kinda akward because we were surrounded by old people. sex overall is NUMBER ONE!!!

I used to test comm software and this sentence is used in testing because it contains every letter in the alphabet.
