it's a tool for kids to learn that every letter of the alphabet can be used. Why it's so excessive? not sure.

that sentance is what they use to display fonts...Like if you go into your fonts folder and ope up a random on, it will open a document with that sentance written in a few sizes.
as for why it shows up in ms Word when you write that command...
i dunno, sounds like an easter egg, but a pointless one.
anyone remember that one in like word 97 where you like typed red in red font and you got some game??

The "=rand" part refers to the sentence.
The first number in the parenthesis is the number of paragraphs.
The second number in the parenthesis is the number of sentences.
For example: =rand(1,1) produces: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

I can. As has been mentioned, that is one of a few sentences that contains every letter in the alphabet, and is used to test printers. I don't think it is used so much anymore, but back when printers and especially typewriters were kind of spotty, it was a quick and easy way to see what letters didn't work or come out clearly.

rand(x, y) is function
the equals probably lets word know to run the function instead of typing it. The x and y parameters are for number of paragraphs and sentences in each paragraphs. It's probably there to calculate how many pages papers will be or something.
