Open Office – Random Text Generator

Open Officer Writer - Random Text Generator

 

 

(This blog was written for versions of OpenOffice up to Version 3.4.0)

 

 

 

There are two ways to generate a paragraph of random text in Open Office Writer.

 

One way is to use the Open Office Extension 'Lorem Ipsum'.

 

Another way in a  Writer document is to enter the letters "dt" - (dummy text) without the quotes and click the F3 key and a block of text is inserted.

 

The difference with this method and Lorem Ipsum text is that this method gives readable text whilst Lorem Ipsum makes dummy text.  It is claimed that a reader is distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.

 

The font type and font size can be set before typing in the “dt” and the insertion will be in that font and size.
