Generating random text in Microsoft® Word can be useful if you're a template designer, a
tutorial maker, or just need some text to fine-tune a page layout. Microsoft® Word supports
random, preset text that Microsoft has included in the Word program or you can add some lorem
ipsum text. The process will work on both Windows and Mac operating systems.
Steps
1.

1
Open Word. If you cannot find the Microsoft® Word program, try searching in your start menu
for it. Be sure to open a document or create a new one once Word is open.
