    Thanks for that. :-)

    I never could figure out how to get to those things!
    I think it's kinda stupid that they make it complicated!

    Why don't they just add them to the feature menu so that everybody can
    view them???

    LOL! That's why they're called Easter eggs. They are something you
    have to *hunt* for. It's geek humor.

  7. Here is a real Easter Egg for Word 2000

    Egg Name: Cast of Characters
    Works On: Word 2000
    Publisher: Microsoft

    How it Works:.

    1: Press the F1 key or click the Office Assistant button.
    2: Under the "What would you like to do?", type "Cast".
    3: Click Search.
    4: Select the "Microsoft Office 2000 user assistance staff" topic.
    5: Click the graphic in the Microsoft Word Help screen.

    and more stuff...

    Name: Catch 22
    Works On: Word 2000
    Publisher: Microsoft

    How it Works:.

    1: Make sure grammar check is on.
    2: Start a new document.
    3: Type: My own well-being. Press [ENTER].
    4: Accept the suggested change. Accept the suggested change. Accept
    the suggested change. etc...

    Do you know Klingon?

    Egg Name: Google klingon
    Works On: Google
    Publisher: Google.com

    How it Works:.

    Go to http://www.google.com/intl/xx-klingon/

    http://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,74984,00.asp
    (You need: Word 2000 and Microsoft's annoying Office Assistant.)

    Hey, It's Uncle Bill

    1. Open a new Word 2000 document.

    2. Type Bill Ggates (yep, misspelled!).

    3. Choose Help, Show the Office Assistant.

    4. You need to get Rocky--the canine version of the assistant--on
    the scene. If you don't have Rocky as your default, right-click on the
    assistant icon, highlight Choose Assistant, and click Next until Rocky
    shows up. (You may need to insert your Office 2000 CD at this point.)

    5. Run Word's spelling checker by clicking the ABC icon in the
    toolbar, and watch Rocky react to his boss's name.

    6. If Rocky doesn't do something cute the first time, perform the
    spelling check a few times.

    Okay, now I get it. At the first sight I just saw a list
    of movies with "1 egg" or "2 eggs" listed after it. I thought
    it might be some sort of reverse rating system. Like a bad movie
    got 1 (rotten) egg (thrown at it) and a really bad movie got
    2, etc.
