Huh? There is no "command" to fill a page, just as there is no such thing as "fake" text. It may be nonsensical to someone trying to read it (or to Word's SpellChecker), but even gibberish is real text.
Why not just make a file with "demo" text in - as many pages as you want - and use that? Import it in when you need it.

Fascinating. I tried a few variants - things like =rand(15,7) in Word 2002 and they also worked. That variant produced 15 occurances of a paragraph that each had The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog seven timss.

Don't know anything about a command, but you should really use the Lorum Ipsum random text that is a print industry standard. "The quick brown fox....etc" tends to distract the viewer from the most important bit.....the layout, and it looks to symmetrical This'll tell you all about it and generate as much text as you want. I've inserted it into word as autotext. Hope this helps
opps. forgot the link.
I was a bit surprised at finding random test text in Latin, but it does get justified:
