Excel 97 (Excel 8) Excel's 97's easter egg is the most impressive that I've ever seen. Follow these steps: 1. Open a new workbook 2. Press F5 3. Enter X97:L97 and press Enter 4. Press Tab 5. Press Ctrl+Shift and click the Chart Wizard button on the toolbar. You'll be greeted with a full-screen animated image. Use the mouse to move around. Trigger the egg. You'll be looking at a purple 3D landscape. Use the mouse to "fly" over the landscape (the mouse changes direction, left button moves forward and left button moves backwards). Fly around a bit and you'll see a grey stone pyramid. Fly to the side of the pyramid that's black and you'll see the credits scroll by. NOTE: If this doesn't work, select the Tools Options command, then click the Transition tab. Remove the checkmark from Transition navigation keys and click OK. Then try it again. _________________________________________________________________ Excel 95 (Excel 7) Excel's 95's easter egg is quite impressive. To get to it, follow these steps: 1.
