One thing that has always been missing from Adobe Illustrator is a dummy-text generator. So, I created this simple script that generates "Lorem ipsum" text, while maintaining text item type styles

the above video shows the following:

1/ if nothing is selected a text box, with the desired amount of text, will be created in the center of the page.
2/ type items can be selected and either replace or add to existing text. in both cases type attributes such as size, leading, and color are maintained. this video shows how the script functions.
3/ punctuation inclusion can be toggled as well as Title Case for headline creation

• ----------------------------------------------------

i post LoremIpsum with the caveat that although it's stable for me and i use it quite frequently, i can't guarantee that it won't cause problems or not work for someone else (i'm on a mac 10.6 CS5)

Notes
** finally i have access to cs5 and so far as i have tested this script functions without problems using the latest version of scriptographer (2.9.072). i still currently have no consistent way to test on other versions of illustrator (i.e. CS2 or CS4 or CS?) or windows. email is the best way to contact me.

thanks.
