When you are creating a web page or brochure really anything with a structure you create random text as a place holder. Some people use latin or others use a repeating sentence. A quick easy way to do this is to open Microsoft word and type in the following

=rand(1,1) The rand function in word creates a sentence that says “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” To increase the amount just change the numbers. The first value is the number of lines, the second value is the number of times. So if you typed =rand(200,1), you would have 200 lines of “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”. If you typed =rand(1,200) it would then write “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.” 200 times with out carriage returns (same line).

Pretty simple trick and might save you some time in the future. I am sure you could use it in more evil ways too. Enough lines might just lock up your computer.
