Excel
Easter EggsThis is just one of the many Easter Eggs you can get from EEGGS.COM.
If you like these kinds of things, I recommend you go there and find some more.
(These instructions come from this website.)
Car racing game:
-
Boot Excel 2000
-
Under file menu, do 'Save as Web Page'.
-
Say 'Publish Sheet' and 'Add Interactivity'
-
Save to some htm page on your drive.
-
Load the htm page with IE. You should have Excel in the middle of the page.
-
Scroll to row 2000, column WC. Select row 2000, and tab so that WC is the active
column.
-
Hold down Shift+Crtl+Alt and click the Office logo in the upper-left.
-
If you have DirectX, you will be playing what looks like spy hunter. Use the
arrow keys to drive, space to fire, O to drop oil slicks, and when it gets dark,
use H for your headlights.
Note: Not everyone has
been able to make this work and I'm researching why. For example, it works
when I try it at school using IE5, but not when I try it at home, using IE
5.5. At home, I get a Microsoft Web Components box. (?) It's
possible it's because I run Personal Web Server (for FrontPage)?? I also have
the Office 2k SR-1 patch and maybe this is stopping it? Or, perhaps it's
because my home computer is on a cable modem network and therefore, always
connected to the internet? But, for those of you who
can do it.....have fun!! If you have problems getting it to work and
figure them out, let me know so I can pass the info onto others.
For those of you
still using Excel 97, and haven't yet found
its Easter Egg, try this and you will get a flight simulator:
-
Open
a new workbook
-
Press
F5
-
Enter
X97:L97 and press Enter
-
Press
Tab once, to move to column M
-
Hold
Control and Shift, then right-click the Chart Wizard icon on the Standard
toolbar
