ARTICULATE STORYLINE: Random Text… It Rocks!

I was cranking away recently on an Articulate Storyline project. On one slide, I had the layout done but was waiting for the final text from the client. I created a shape but couldn't go further without the client's text. At the very least, I wanted some placeholder text, so I could finish the slide by formatting the boxed text.
 
And that was when I was reminded of an awesome Storyline feature: random text. In the image below, you can see the shape I've added to a slide. It still needs text that I can format.
 
 
I typed the following line of text into the shape: =Lorem().
 
 
And check out what happens after I press the ENTER key.
 
 
Pretty cool, eh? But I know what you're thinking… Lorem ipsum? If real words are more your style, it's no problem. Type =Rand() instead.
 
 
After pressing the ENTER key, it was all about the quick brown fox. Pretty cool, eh?
