See this article on how to create random text in Microsoft Word in three different ways.
There are some cases where you want to have a preview of what a text will look like in Microsoft Word. This could give you an idea not only of what your entire page in Microsoft Word might look like, but also of what a particular font might look like.
This preview requires you to enter random text in Word to see the final result. The simplest solution, one might think, is to copy - paste a text from the internet. It is possible, but it has a lot of clicks and maybe a little searching. That is a waste of time. In addition, there is always the risk of pasting the properties of the text (font, paragraphs, and style in general) so that you see something completely different in Word.
The program itself gives you this option, the introduction of random text, and in fact in three different ways, with the ease of being able to choose the number of sentences and the number of paragraphs. Text creation only works in Microsoft Word for Windows. The feature is not available on macOS.
