Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 – lorem ipsum text

If you are putting some slides together and need some 'placeholder' text to represent something that is going to be written later, where the text is to go you can just type:

=lorem()

and PowerPoint 2010 will automatically insert three paragraphs (or bullets) of lorem ipsum text (the 'gibberish Latin' that typesetters used to use to demonstrate different typefaces.

If you only want 1 or 2 paragraphs/bullets put the number 1 or 2 inside the brackets.
