On the Insert tab, the galleries include items that are designed to coordinate with the overall look of your document. You can use these galleries to insert tables, headers, footers, lists, cover pages, and other document building blocks. When you create pictures, charts, or diagrams, they also coordinate with your current document look.
You can easily change the formatting of selected text in the document text by choosing a look for the selected text from the Quick Styles gallery on the Home tab. You can also format text directly by using the other controls on the Home tab. Most controls offer a choice of using the look from the current theme or using a format that you specify directly.
To change the overall look of your document, choose new Theme elements on the Page Layout tab. To change the looks available in the Quick Style gallery, use the Change Current Quick Style Set command. Both the Themes gallery and the Quick Styles gallery provide reset commands so that you can always restore the look of your document to the original contained in your current template.

1215398 2011-07-08 06:18:00 Hi Bot. This handy text generator has long been used by our local SeniorNet, mainly to fill a page with text prior to learning how to highlight, delete, change font, cut and paste and such like. It is also used when teaching students to insert pictures in to text pages.

You might not have noticed that you can modify the command.... for example, in Word 2007, if you type =rand() you get a small paragraph. By inserting numbers, separated by a comma, between to brackets, you get what you ask for, The first number gives you paragraphs and the second number gives you sentences per paragraph. Try = rand(5,7) or similar. In this way it is easy for a sudent to fill a page.
