Apparently, the constant rain up in Redmond has driven Bill's engineers
to obsessive flights of fancy. Below, you'll find instructions on how to
access a little flight simulator that was inexplicably hidden by
precipitation-maddened programmers deep inside Excel 97.
Procedure
- In Excel 97, open a new blank worksheet.
- Press (go to) and type X97:L97 in the "Reference" box
- Then **click Ok.
- Now, hit the key once. (you should end up in cell M97)
- Here's the tricky part:
Press + while clicking once on the "Chart Wizard"
button. (the one with the blue-yellow-red barchart icon)
- After a few moments, you should be flying.
- Steer with the mouse and look for the credits screen.
- You can exit the screen by pressing
Instruction to fly....
- once you get that screen showing the purplish terrain, use your mouse to
manoeuvre around by......
- Clicking left mouse button **- *to fly forward/faster
- Clicking right mouse button **- *to fly backward/slower
- Moving mouse downward *- *to fly upward
- Moving mouse upward *- *to fly downward
- Left/right movement *- *as it is, left and right.
Enjoy...
