As Terry and Jay have said, a bug is defined as something that does not work
according to design. I suspect the results you're getting, though perhaps
surprising or alarming to you, are exactly what you would expect if you knew
what the rand function was designed to do. Jay has already referred you to
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/DummyText.htm, where this is
explained.
