Using Placeholder Text
Templates contain placeholder text, which shows you what text will look like and where
it will be placed in the finished document. Most placeholder text appears in Latin (for
example, lorem ipsum) in the document body, text boxes, headers, and elsewhere.
Other predefined text, such as the title of a newsletter, appears in the language you’re
using.
