: What should I use for filler/placeholder text? Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam,

@Samaraweera207

Your discomfort in using classic placeholder "Graphics Greek" text comes from not knowing enough about it. It is an amalgam of Latin that imitates the patterns of ENglish so closely in terms of frequency of various lengths of words so closely, that you can lay it in position, copy it to Word, use the word count tool, and know what amount of real text is need to fit the layout. Get over your discomfort and they will get over yours and you'll come across as a professional.

I use Fillerati, which gives you text from public domain books to place in your documents.

If you've got any sort of content already from the client, you can use that too.

I once used a computer science text book (only thing I ever used that book for) as dummy text...

Ideally, nothing. Instead, use the actual content. Content is integral to a successful design, but, alas, even today, it's still treated like an afterthought all-to-often.

Otherwise, Lorem ipsum is pretty much the habit.

Yeah - that'll work.
www.lipsum.com/ is what I usually use.
