Magic Tricks with MS Word/Notepad [Office Tweaks]

Translate Into:

Guys, try this one… Just for fun and experimentation.

Over Yahoo! Messenger, my friend forwarded me a couple of tricks to do wit MS Word and Notepad and I would like to share this with you.

Trick #1:

Again this is something funny and can’t be explained… At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn’t answer why this happened!
It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself…

Open Microsoft Word and type =rand (200, 99).
And then press ENTER.
And see the magic!.

Trick #2:

For those of you using Windows, do the following:
1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type “Bush hid the facts” (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4.) Close it, and re-open it.

Noticed the weird bug? No one can explain!

I have tried both tricks and was entertaining… For the #1 trick, it will automatically populate your MS Word document with the phrases “The quick brown fox….“. Also, for an experiment try to change 200, 99 to any number you desire… like 2, 6.

For the second trick, when I re-opened it… the characters where in Japanese characters of which I do not know the meaning… Try it and share your comments.

Does Microsoft knows all these bugs/hidden tricks with their software? I wonder what’s their intension of putting such into this tools.
