3adeh.. to my knowledge it is a function that takes 2 arguments x & y
and it will outputs X number of paragraphs with Y sentences in each paragraph.
it is mainly to see how ur formatting would appear on a text.

u reminded me of some trick in excel, my instructor told me about it and I ever tried to search for it
he claimed that if u type a certain function, excel will launch some kind of a flying game...
I don't know how true is it! I'll google it!

the flying game is true, there was also a car game but for much older versions of excel

yes true, but did you know that recent version of MS office don't have easter eggs in them anymore, its to do with the law, the fact that there are items not advertised in the software... Imagine a backdoor easter egg
