Anyone have the Microsoft Word software? I have a question.

[Carpe Diem]

Got this e-mail today....But i don't have word.

What happens? :|




"If you have the program "Microsoft Word" on your computer, you can do this.

Not even Bill Gates can explain this one.
Try this,
Open a Word document and type the following:
=rand(200,99)
Press Enter and wait 3 seconds...
Microsoft is looking to reward anyone who can explain it."

i tried it.

it prints about 200+ pages of "the quick brown fox. . ."

i'm guessing it was embedded by the authors of word.

why, we can only guess.

It's an easter egg.

Programmers are famous for sticking stuff like that in their projects.

I tried changing the numbers and it still works... the first number is number of paragraphs and the second is the number of times the sentence is repeated in each paragraph

Ther are alot of these easter eggs, I remember there was one(too bad I foudn ut about thsi afte rI upgraded from 9'97(I think) to 2000) Where in ecel you could type in certain codees and a game would show up. But Microsoft apparentlky removed all the game easter eggs because of too much bulk.

does anybody know anymroe easter eggs?
