This free extension generates Lorem ipsum dummy text from www.lipsum.com. I made this one my self by the way.
When you install this extension you will se another icon in the icon bar. Click the icon and you will see a dialog, where you can select how much Lorem Ipsum text you want. Select a number and select paragraph, words, bytes or list.
You can also choose if your tex should begin with 'Lorem ipsum dolor ...'
This screen shot is in Danish, but if you are using another language, you will see the English version.
Using this extension requires access to the Internet because the text is provided by a service from http://www.lipsum.com. The extension itself doesn't contain any Lorem Ipsum text.
The result will be some text that has no meaning, but can be used e.g. to test a template or to show a brochure without any content.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut adipiscing mauris. Etiam aliquam eros sed nisl. Praesent sapien. Quisque fermentum varius nulla. Praesent erat pede, facilisis sed, euismod eget, euismod at, dui. Duis elementum rhoncus risus. Pellentesque blandit, mi et volutpat aliquam, est justo vehicula lectus, vitae porttitor arcu mi et erat. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; In adipiscing sem eu ipsum. In pretium risus eu magna. Donec porttitor eleifend magna. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Pellentesque sagittis cursus lorem. Aenean vel risus. Etiam pretium. Morbi nibh. Cras magna dui, volutpat et, elementum sit amet, vulputate sed, sapien. Vestibulum volutpat gravida eros. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Donec tristique ligula at nisl
I created this extension when I was investigating the phenomenon a couple of years ago. I used this as a showcase. Later on, I found that this extra little action button in OpenOffice.org Writer is rather valuable to me.

Had a play with this useful extension, so I could avoid having to cut and paste with an external geneator, just a suggestion: If it's possible, it'd be handy for it to, also, mark the generated text as Latin language content. That'll stop the spell checker highlighting every single word as being mispelt.
I like that idea. I'll try to look into that soon.
Problems with the Status Bar
When I activate lorem ipsum in OpenOffice 3.0 the normal status bar
disappears. Instead I get the words "Created XX chapters from the
loremipsum.com". The normal status bar displayes again after the current
document is closed, and I start a new document
