Has anyone ever visited this site before? I found this on a different website. Apparently lots of hidden cool things can be found within a computer, cd's, software, and hardware!


Have fun!

This an interesting “Easter Egg”, hidden in Excel 2000 was documented in the April issue of PC World. It is a little tricky to execute, so pay careful attention. It works!

1. Open Excel 2000 with a blank worksheet.
2. Select FILE-SAVE as Web Page
3. In the Save As Dialog box, choose Selection: Sheet, check Add interactivity, and click Publish (Remember where you saved this file. It will have an htm extension.)
4. Click “Publish” in the Publish as Web Page dialog box.
5. Close Excel, declining to save the worksheet.
6. Open Internet Explorer.
7. Choose FILE-OPEN, click Browse, open the file you just saved. If a worksheet appears, good work, so far so good.
8. Click on the worksheet, and hold <page down> to go to row 2000.
9. Click on the gray header to select row 2000.
10. Use the <Tab> key to move the active cell pointer to cell WC2000.
NOTE: You must use this method to go to WC2000. If the entire Row 2000 is not selected this will not work!
11. Hold down <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Shift> and click on the Office logo in the upper left corner.
12. If the race track appears, congratulations! Use the arrow keys to navigate, the space bar to fire, H for headlights, O for to drop an oil slick and <Esc> to quit.

Does it have to be Excel 2000? Oh well......here goes with Office XP......






Ok.......step 10 is the only one I have a problem with. What key are you talking about? The only way I can seem to get to WC2000 is if I go to row 2000, then go to column WC......and you cannot have the entire row 2000 selected to do this.

It probably won't work with XP, but regarding row 2000...

After you select all of row 2000, use the <tab> key to make WC2000 active. You can navigate within a range by using <Tab> , <Shift-Tab>, <Enter> and <Shift-Enter>. It won't work if you navigate to WC2000 with the "arrow" keys. Good luck. It's kinda neat.

I still don't see what you mean. What "key" are you talking about that makes the cell active?

[wolfworx]

I'm sorry. I forgot that this editor does strange things when you use greater-than and less-them symbols. I used them to indicate use of the TAB and SHIFT-TAB keys.

Once you select a range you can navigate within the range with TAB, and SHIFT-TAB to move right and left without de-selecting the range. That is how you must get to cell WC2000. Hope this helps.

On step 11 what's the -- stand for? Shift? Alt? Tab? Ctrl? I tried em all and nada.

Oh well......doesn't look like it works with Office Xp.
