There's also a function in MS Word that will produce a specified number
of repetitions of "The quick brown fox..." arranged in paragraphs, which
could then be copied/pasted-special into FM. Not quite as
non-distracting as lorem ipsum, but possibly useful too.
In a new Word doc, type
=rand(p,s)
where p is the number of paragraphs and s is the number of sentences per
paragraph. Press Enter to see the result.
