Up until now (Word 97) I have used the Word function =rand(number of paragraphs) to create a given number of paragraphs when teaching people how to use Word, etc.

We are now changing over to Office XP, which doesn't have =rand() any more.

Has anyone got an idea if there is a replacement and if so, what it is?????

Thanks a lot in advance

I tried it for Word 2002 under Windows XP, worked fine.

Works for me as well. There is a second parameter in case you were unaware for number of sentences in each paragraph. =rand(10,2) will yield ten paragraphs with 2 sentences in each.
