at? I didnt make the video but I knew the Con issue was due to the DOS commands. But the MS Word one I didnt know. I just posted the video and used the title of the video as the thread title. So how did I fail again? From what I can tell you just failed wiith your comment.

SuperChunk - 2

ya there is, just forget the code.

It's the same code the guy used in the video.

=rand (200,99)

so it is apart of the 439 page document or does it appear different mattering the version of Word?

I did it in word 2007 and that phrase doesnt seem in the document.

You post a video claiming two "easter eggs".

In reality you got one legitimate illegal keyword that obviously can't be used, and you admit it above.

AND you have a perfectly legitimate call in Word.

What is =rand()?  An urban myth, a bug, an Easter egg?

The truth is rather boring, =rand(200,99) is a function Microsoft really did included by design.  The urban myth is that =rand(200,00) is a bug with Word for Windows.  A variation of this urban myth is that Microsoft programmers left an 'Easter Egg*' in the program. 

Despite the prosaic truth that this is neither a bug nor an urban myth, you could baffling your friends by challenging them to type the phrase =rand(200,99) in their copy of Word for Windows 2003 or =rand.old(200,99) in Word 2007.

Background of =rand(200,99)

Word for Windows has a powerful built-in macro language.  To see it in action, try highlighting text, then hold down the shift key while pressing F3 (Function key 3).  Switching UPPER, lower and Proper case is an example of a more useful Word macro than =rand().

To return to =rand(200,99).  The function creates one instance of 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog', even if you omit any numbers inside the bracket, =rand(), moreover you can try numbers other than 200 and 99, for example =rand(2,3).  Soon you will realize that the first number refers to the paragraphs, while the second number refers to the sentences.  Who ever initiated this urban myth wanted to demonstrate the maximum numbers of sentences and paragraphs.

=rand() is a well known random function, which is handy for statistics, or simulating card games such as blackjack.

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

A word about the phrase: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.  This is a special, even classic sequence to check each and every letter in the English alphabet with just one sentance.  Thus if you are experimenting with different fonts, you may want to see how all the letters would display.

Thus you phail!!! and since you dared to give me a reduction in point when I didn't do it to you...
