Does anyone here know of any hidden programs or other fun stuff hidden inside of MS apps or OS?
A friend of mine told me of one in "Excel". I will post it here soon.

Open Excel 97 (has to be from a total fresh start)
Hit F5
Type in "X97:L97" without the quotes
Hit Tab once
Hold down Ctrl and Shift and click on Chart Wizard icon on the toolbar (the icon with the colored vertical bars)

Let me know how it goes.

Anyone got anything else?

Sorry everyone...it should say this...

Open Excel (has to be from a total fresh start)
Hit F5
Type in "X97:L97" without the quotes, click "OK"
Hit Tab once
Hold down Ctrl and Shift and click on Chart Wizard icon on the toolbar (the icon with the colored vertical bars)

You could check out www.eeggs.com

I haven't had time to look at it, but it's apparently an archive of various easter eggs. Might be fun to take a peek at it when things slow down a bit...

Here is another one.
Open up Word.
Type Blue..then highlight it.
Goto "format" on the menu bar.
click on font.
Under "font style" select "bold"
under "color" select the blue color.
Now....in the word doc where you typed "Blue" (without quotes) unhighlight the word Blue.then press space bar one time then single quote, then space bar, single quote.
goto Help menu.
select "about MS WORD".
hold down ctrl&shift keys and click on the MS Word icon in the about MS word menu.

Let me know what happens..

My machine just clicked to a blank screen and then came back again, but the previous EE showed a sort of landscape.
