Limited support indicates that the Windows support for a particular language/keyboard hasn't been enabled.

There aren't any proofing tools for Latin available (other than using Serbian Latin, or one of the Latin/Romance languages) although
Word 2007 does use pseudoLatin for creating sample text
On a blank line type
=lorem()
and then enter for an example.
You may want to look into 3rd party products as well.
http://www.alphadictionary.com/directory/Languages/Romance/Latin/
or search online for Latin Spell check

to mention a much smaller chunk than my "lorem" AutoText entry, so I think
I'll stick with the latter.
Apparently you can introduce an argument for the number of paragraphs but
not (as with =rand()) for the number of sentences in each paragraph. That's
actually an improvement because quick brown foxes are so repetitive that
they don't make good sample text.

For me it works just like rand() - which is what I would have expected. Note
also that rand() in 2007 is much improved and no longer uses foxes, quick or
brown or any other sort.

right about the arguments; I was using (5,2), and it was less obvious that
each of the five paragraphs had two sentences because there is such a
pronounced difference in sentence length (a good thing, of course).

Thanks for your answer. I just wanted to point out that the word "Latin" in
"Serbian Latin" refers to the script used to write in Serbian. Serbian is the
language and can be written with the Latin script or with the Cyrillic script
(hence the distinction between Serbian Latin and Serbian Cyrillic). You have
the same distinction for languages such as Azeri, Bosnian, Uzbek, etc, which
can also use the Latin or Cyrillic alphabets, so this is not about the Latin
language.
I hope it helps, ;-)
