A quick way to create dummy text using MSWord

 While creating a sample page, I needed to populate some sample text quickly without using any documents from the office. I started random typing, but I quickly remembered the built in marcos in Word for just such a purpose. If you type in =lorem() and press enter, you get one line of Lorem Ipsum if you type in  =lorem(10) and press enter, you get 10 lines. If you prefer English to Latin, then type in  =rand(10) and press enter for 10 lines of 'random' text (not really random, but its text that is readable that I did not have to type) 

Confluence: How to create a 'DRAFT' watermark using CSS

I added the following to my Confluence page: To do it, I put the following text in an HTML block at the top of the page: <style> .watermark {     opacity: 0.5;     color: BLACK;     position: fixed;     top: 45%;     left: 50%; font-size: 110px; font-weight: 100;     background: yellow; padding-left: 50px; padding-right: 50px; } .rotate {   transform: rotate(-45deg);   /* Legacy vendor prefixes that you probably don't need... */   /* Safari */   -webkit-transform: rotate(-45deg);   /* Firefox */   -moz-transform: rotate(-45deg);   /* IE */   -ms-transform: rotate(-45deg);   /* Opera */   -o-transform: rotate(-45deg);   /* Internet Explorer */   filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3); } </style> <div class="watermark rotate ">Draft</div> It seems to work well across browser too.
