Well it does'nt work for me?
What version are you using?
Mine looks like this......
Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

That's not actually an "easter egg" it's a defined function. It's purpose is to produce a chunk of text so you can
adjust the layout of a document etc. before it's finished. The 200 is the number of paragraphs required, and the 99 is the number of sentences
in each paragraph.

Can anyone tell me what the sentence is for the English version of Word? In the Spanish version, I'm getting a very weird sentence of some
animal happily eating things?

Which contains every letter of the alphabet, presumably so you can see what all the characters of the font you are using look like. I presume the
spanish version also contains every letter.

The sentence is the one which typists used to use for training as it uses every letter. I have used the shortcut in the past when training people to
use word - for those who are very slow on the keyboard it is a quick way to provide text to play around with the format - althoug i do tend to go for
=rand(5,6) or similar....

Interesting. Our sentence is not a well known one like yours.. plus it doesn't have every letter at all.
