    Rofl, nice one Razorback. ::::02::

  • That's...curious.

    Hmmm, is Gates that stupid?

    It's just a function. =rand(1,1) where =rand(num times to repeat on left, num times to repeat on right)

    pretty basic to write this function.

    Notice how the spacing works out so there is a clear line that runs down the middle of the page?

    There is meaning to this....

    An intrinsic life changing concept has been givin to us within this code.

  • I don't know what kinds of subliminal messages might be in there, but I do know that after reading a page of that text that monopolies are essential for healthy economic growth, and that anyone who opposes them is a communist.

    Gates can't explain why that phrase is there.. not the basic function

    Truly this must be a sublimal message from God.

    We must analyse this.

    We cant show you because whoever posted the result would probably get banned lol...

    It creates an instant 166 pages of this:

    quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.  The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.  The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.  The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.  The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.  The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.  The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.  The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.  The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.  The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

    My guess would be that its just a quick way for the devs to get a nice big document to test features of the program when it was being coded and like a lot of these so called "easter eggs" it got left in..... Im probably wrong....

    For instance for like the first 2 months of CoH there was a Beta command you could use to instantly teleport you back to the nearest zone entrance. Of course it got so abused it was removed... then 2 funny things happened. Firstly the people who had been abusing it whined about it being removed LOL and secondly the devs were forced to admit they had left in a pretty crucial exploit for some weeks into release.image

    ur proabably wrong because such a command would be entirely unecessary they could just take a doc from previous versions of word, or even from notepad and paste them in there....

    but they could have put it in just because they could but i expect this command isn't just for amusement but for what purpose is entirely beyond me.

    I agree, it very likely has some practical use... But nothing that will ever be revealed to the likes of us mere mortals.

    I typed it in and all I got was a naked picture of Chris Farley

    Is it just for 2003 or can it work with all Word programs?

    People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.

    isn't that the message that shows up when you're trying to change the font so you can see how it looks?

     

    it's not a "subliminal" message or anything..
