"For those of you who still have the old excel 95 (not office 97) try this out (this really works)
1 - Open a new file
2 - Scroll down to row 95
3 - Click on the row 95 button to highlight the entire row
4 - Press tab to move to the second column
5 - Now, move your mouse and click on help at the top
6 - Then click on "about Microsoft excel"
7 - Press ctrl-alt-shift and click on the tech support button at the same time.
A window will appear with the title - THE HALL OF TORTURED SOULS.
This is really eerie, okay! It has a doom style format and you can walk all around the hall using the arrow keys. On the sides of the walls are the names of the tortured souls....now walk up the stairs and then come back down, Facing the blank wall. Now type in:
EXCELKFA;
this will open the blank wall to reveal another secret passage, walk through the passage and do not fall off. This is difficult to do. When you get to the end you will see something really, really eerie.
As of this point in time, countless witnesses all over the world have verified that it is a real eye opener. It could be a joke by MS programmers. Or is it?"
So, does this work or what? Must find a copy of Excel 95...

I'd quite like to know.....

Does anyone want to know? I can't be bothered to type it unless you want to know.

Theres the same sort of thing in Excel97... I cant remember what you need to press... it may very well be the same thing as for Excel95... but it unlocks a 3D flight sim kinda game...
