How do you randomize an instanced txt on maya particles?

I m not sure,but i think you are looking for randomness in instance right??.Check attachment for scene file.Hope this will help.

Thank you but I'm trying to modify one polygon for all of the particles.

You want to tweak textForBevel1 >> Text Curves History >>Text value....right??
but tell me what is the benefit by doing this?? Assume if you set value let say 3,then every particle will instance with shape of 3.That means if you want to show text from A-Z or 0-9 at a time then you will need all relative shape in your scene.I am 99 % sure no more idea for remaining 1%.All the best

And you can set that value by using below expression:

int $RandNumber=rand(0,9);
setAttr -type "string" textForBevel1.text "$RandNumber";

I know this is exactly what I'm trying to avoid. Just any modification to an instanced object would be the answer.
Lets say you wan to change the per-particle opacity of each instance.
How do you do that?
Thanks
