Although, if you’re using InDesign, there’s always the “fill with placeholder text” option when a text box is selected.

If you need to generate lorem ipsum in-browser, my preferred solution in Firefox is to use the Ubiquity add-on from Mozilla Labs. Ubiquity is a fully extensible linguistic command-line for your browser, which let's you issue commands just by typing. Quite ingenious. Their tutorial explains it all. Someone wrote a "lorem"command (install Ubiquity, then visit that link, and lorem will be automatically installed). You can then invoke Ubiquity (via a key-combo that you set), and then issue the command by typing lorem N, which will then copy N words of lorem ipsum onto your clipboard. It's the perfect solution if you need to insert lorem ipsum into rich-text-fields in your browser, as your hands never have to leave your keyboard.

@Matt
I used to use another lipsum dashboard widget but it become tiresome switching to it each time. With this bookmarklet you don’t have to do much since it copies it automatically.

@Sebastian
That seems really interesting. I’ll check it out. Thanks.

@Sandro
“Greek” text is a term used for placeholder text in a design that has no meaning or sense. Lorem Ipsum is a form of “greeking”.

Why is it tagged greek? Lorem ipsum is latin text by Cicero

Also on Mac, there’s lipServiceX, which sits in your Services menu, and can be used on all Cocoa apps (Safari being one of them; doesn’t work on FFx):

it has a paragraph key shortcut and a one-sentence shortcut, so it’s far more efficient than any other method I’ve found

If you're on a Mac, theres a nice little dashboard widget called Corporate Ipsum. It lets you use either business jargon or classic ipsum and you can adjust the amount of copy straight away.
