Easter eggs


̊ ˉˉ ̊

Recommended Posts

It's not really an easter egg. It's just a function to get filler text. The first number's how many paragraphs you want, and the second one is how many sentences you want in each paragraph.

 

Here's one for earlier versions of Excell (2000 and earlier, I believe):

Open a new Excel workbook.

Select File * Save as Web Page

In the Save As dialog, select 'Publish Sheet' and 'Add Interactivity'

Save to an htm file on your hard drive (any file name).

Open the htm file with Internet Explorer 5.

Select cell WC2000 and scroll the sheet such that cell WC2000 is the first cell on the left. Highlight the entire row.

Press Shift+Crtl+Alt and click the Office logo in the upper-left.

Your screen will be transformed into an auto racing game, with developer credits (and other things) visible on the roadway. Use the following keys:

 

Arrow keys: to steer and accelerate

Space bar: To fire at other cars

O: To drop an oil slicks

H: To turn on your headlights

That's cute. :yes:

 

Well one way to cheat in Minesweeper (although it's not technically an easter egg) is to type 'xyzzy' and hold down shift. A pixel in the top left of your screen will turn white if a square is okay and black if you mouse over a mine.

Shame that doesn't work for Windows Vista, although MS is a very old game. o_O

Well I still find the proper way to play faster, I only use the cheat when I'm in one of those positions where you have to guess.
