RE: flying in excel

Hi Nick

Thank you for your question. I've had a look around and it appears that these hidden games were in Excel 97 and 2000. Collectively these secret games and levels are often referred to as "Easter Eggs". Whilst they are often omitted from official documentation you may find the key cominations to trigger them online. For example a search for Excel Easter egg might return the results you are looking for for example this page lists Excel examples:

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further quesitons.

Kind regards,
Andrew

RE: flying in excel

Hi Nick

Thanks for the feedback and for letting me know you've had chance to put things into practice. That's always great to hear! I'm certain you'll get lots out of the Advanced course too.

Kind regards and have a great weekend,

Andrew

So What's The Document Inspector For In Office 2007?

Hidden data can contain details about the author, your organisation and about the document itself. The Document Inspector can seek out hidden data in places you might not be aware of, such as the file properties boxes, hidden comments, data formatted as hidden, or perhaps some old tracking information.
