RE: Strange word thingys
Q33NY isn't even a valid flight number, from my limited knowledge of commercial aviation.
Flight numbers are formatted as so, from the research I have just done, which confirms what I thought from my VATSIM days.
Airline Code -- Flight Number
BA -- 123
(Without the dashes)
So a British Airways flight would be BA123 and an Air Canada is AC123. The flight number is assigned by the airline company, as an easy way to identify their flights, so for example a flight from Manchester, UK to JFK Intl, NY provided by British Airways could have a flight number of BA102. The return flight would probably be BA103 or BA101.
That word thingy has just been made up to look like a flight number.
The second one is one of the thousands of MS Word functions, and all it does is do that text for the number of lines specified or something. =rand(11) will do a much smaller amount. Not sure whether the number changes the number of repeats, lines or what though. Haven't checked it that far.
