Add Sample text Functions are used to obtain information. You tell the function what you want and the function returns that information to you. By default, in Word, when yo u type the rand function, Word returns three paragraphs. When working with functions, you use arguments to be specific about what you want the function to return. There are two arguments you can use with the rand function. The first one tells Word how many paragraphs you want, and the second one tells Word how many sentences you want in a paragraph. You place arguments between the parentheses and you separate them with a comma. For example, if you type =rand() and then press Enter, word returns three paragraphs. Example To tell Word you want two paragraphs with three sentences in each paragraph, you type =rand(2,3). Docsity.com Choose the Indents and Spacing tab.
