Works for any Office language (and version I think), with any (x,y) parameters. It puts an output of x paragraphs each containing some silly sentence repeated y times.
Knew that already :D
It is called an Easter Egg. You can find more of them in almost any app (in Word 97 it was pinball game I think ;)) - just type "easter egg" in google :D Sometimes really amazing things you can find :D

When it comes to Microsoft Office documents, there is often a lot more in them than meets the eye. Most people don't realize that when two or more people collaborate on a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint document, hidden information--such as deleted text, names of authors, and revision marks--are sometimes unintentionally left in final drafts. This is known as metadata and is embedded in Microsoft Office files.

You have all been warned! :P


and Microsoft Office = teh Evil :twisted:

Everyone should try OpenOffice, a completly free (under LGPL Licence) alternative to Microsoft Office. OpenOffice is completly compatible with MS Office documents as well as open-component based APIs and and XML-based file formats. OpenOffice is practically the same as MS Office except it's more secure, uses less memory, runs faster. It includes all the key desktop applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, and drawing program.

In Polish is such useless and silly, that I hardly can think of it as non-egg ;)
Maybe it was a joke of Polish Word programmers...

Pchnąć w tę łódź jeża lub ośm skrzyń fig.

Any of Poles dare to translate it into English? :twisted:

Hm, I had no idea that was in there.
Here's the American version:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

So, it is the font looking sentence, at least in English. This sentence you wrote is the shortest making sense in English, in which all leters from a to z appear at least once.
The Polish one I quoted is also the shortest with all Polish letters...
...but why is it so silly :?:
Nevermind - respect to Paulex *bows to the master* :)

aparently the quick brown dog jumps over the lazy fox, this must be some kind of secret code, or maybe a clue on how to find buried gold :shock:
