    Is there a way that I can automatically fill text boxes with random dummy text as a placeholder?

      A tedious way might be in Word to type =RAND(m,n) (m and n are numbers!) at the beginning of a line and press Enter, to get m paragraphs of n sentences “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”, which you could cut and paste into Publisher?

      Surely you don’t want Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…?

        No I don’t want lorem ipsum thanks!

        As you suggest I shall just cut and paste something from Word.

        I had a feeling that I had done it in previous versions of Publisher but with more thought I think that I was thinking of Dreamweaver!

        Many thanks

          How about the usual pangrams, like:

          Fill my box with five dozen liquor jugs
          Quick waxy bugs jump the frozen veldt
          Waltz, bad nymph, for quick jigs vex

          inter alia?
