------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jan 4 13:02:43 -0800 2006 ------- Sometimes in normal use, and very often during QA tests, it is necessary to quickly type some lines of text. Microsoft Word offers a nice way to do this: just type "=rand()" in a new paragraph and, if Autocorrection is enabled, you will get a few lines of sample text (not actually random). See the Microsoft documentation at http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B212251 for more. A similar function should be implemented in Writer: it would help a lot during QA tests and OOo demos. The sample text of course must be localized. (I know the same can be obtained by a custom autocorrect item or by a macro, but I would really like it to be a standard feature of OOo and I don't see anything against this). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
