Open a blank Word document (microsoft word) and type or
copy paste the following:

=rand(200,99)

and then Press 'Enter' and wait 5 seconds...

Someone please tell me, is it a bug, or a program error??

Thanks in advance.

Hi Clarence

It's neither a bug nor an error, and it isn't a virus as some people
claim. It's just intended to let you enter some "random" text so you
can try out various formats.

Different language versions of Word use different texts. The "quick
brown fox" sentence is constructed to use every letter of the
alphabet.

You don't have to use those huge numbers and fill up hundreds of
pages. The first number says how many paragraphs you want, and the
second number says how many sentences to put in each paragraph. If you
leave out the numbers completely, =rand() gives you the same effect as
=rand(3,5).

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/DummyText.htm for more
information.
