Once in a while you need to fill in some dummy-text. Usually this is done, by leveraging the “lorem ipsum” text.
While there are a couple of websites, that can create this text (like http://www.lipsum.com/), this is actually unnecessary while working with Micorsoft Word 2007. Just type in =lorem(10,5) and you’ll get about 10 paragraphs with up to 5 lines of text per paragraph.
This is kinda neat.
Some installations/setups of windows/internet explorer seem to prefer to open especially office documents within the browser-window, instead of starting word or excel and showing the document there.
So it turns out, that this is actually a setting of the windows explorer. Just go to Tools\Folder options\File Types select a file type of your choice (preferably a type, which is being opened within IE) and then remove the check from the setting open in same window from the extended properties page.
