I promise explaining the Magic #2 as described by Princess.

You see, “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is a  phrase that contains all the letters of the English alphabet and is therefore used to test typewriters and computer keyboards.

This phrase was used in English version Microsoft Word 2003 and earlier and was called localised sample text. So when you type =rand(x,y), where x and y are integers, and press Enter , the sample test is displayed and repeatedly for x paragraphs and y sentences per paragraph.

For example if you type =rand(1,2), the sample text is displayed in 1 paragraph and 2 sentence per paragraph etc.

So if you type =rand(200,99), the text is displayed in 200 paragraphs, and 99 sentences per paragraph.

If you type the command with only one integer like =rand(1), it will inserts one paragraph with three lines of text in the paragraph.

Now, this phrase is considered an old sample text in Office 2007, as there is a new sample text for the package. So, if you type this in Word 2007, you might not get “The quick brown ……” phrase

As a matter of fact, different Word versions like Japanese or German have difft localized sample texts.

I have gone through this stress to disabuse people's mind from thinking it was a mistake. It was actually meant as a joke and should be taking so.
