Random Writings

It’s been several years (decades?) since I studied Latin, so I can’t translate any of this, but when designers need a block of text they often use Lorem Ipsum.

This focuses attention on the design, rather than the text.


You could use this when setting up a web layout or Word template, to show a client how the end product might look with different fonts and styles.

There’s a handy website where you can specify exactly how much text you need, and it will generate it for you, in paragraphs or bulleted lists. Then, copy and paste the results to your document.


When testing layouts in Word, I usually use the RAND function to generate random text (type =RAND() and press Enter).

It creates English text instead of Latin, but is quick and easy to use.
