Looking for Office XP Easter Eggs, then you’re in the right place. Windows XP Easter Eggs are hard to find because a court ruled that Microsoft is forbidden from including any undocumented features with Windows XP, such as Easter eggs. Office XP Easter Eggs are also included in this ruling.
Think you found Office XP Easter Eggs or better yet, a Windows Vista Easter Egg? Then please let us know what you found and may end up publishing it for everyone to see! Yup, them there XP Easter Eggs are hard to find and they say none exist in Windows Vista – can you prove them wrong?
Office XP Easter Eggs listed below
Well, at least examples that do not qualify as a Windows Vista or XP Easter Egg; the first example is a function built for quickly filling up space with text and helps with testing. Microsoft states the code below is a tool.
Open a blank Word document, Type ‘=rand(200,99)’, press Enter and wait for 30 seconds.
The next, and second example does not fall into the Office XP Easter Egg category and is simply a file that was left over, perhaps for testing. The file is located in ‘C:\WINDOWS\” and appears after the last folder. The file is named ‘0’ and when opened, is blank.
Some speculate that this file was, and can be, used to hide files, very large files in fact! There is a known issue with NTFS Recovery that even the top technicians seem to have forgotten about.

Function =rand(no_paragraphs , no_sentences) is not an easter egg as it’s documented.
Example of easter egg is datedif function in excel 2003 – you can use it in formulas to calculate date difference but you will not find anything aubout it in helpfiles. you need to search the internet for 3rd party articles on this functionality – MS does not admit that it’s there.
This is not an easter egg.
It’s just the newer way of the old “Lorem ipsum dolor” (try =lorem(200,99) for instance.)And it’s called Dummytext to fill in empty spaces like on webpages.
(Never saw it? They often use this for websitetemplates.)
I past =rand(200,99) in my MS word 2007 and after pressing enter i saw allot of text some thing like Ms Office documentation of 567 pages.Is this an Easter egg ……. interesting !
Try random pairs of numbers within the parentheses. Any pair of numbers works, it just changes the number of repetitions of the sentence.
