“Every now and then, I need to fill a blank
OpenOffice.org Writer document with dummy text. While
OpenOffice.org comes with a built-in feature that allows you to do

from the lipsum.com Web site. It is, indeed, a nifty solution, but
since it requires an Internet connection to do its magic, it’s not
of much use when I work off-line. So I wrote a simple macro that
inserts dummy text into the current OpenOffice.org Writer document.
