Flight Simulator in Excel

Do you have Excel 97 ? And you lack money to buy Flight Simulator ? No problem . Consistent with Windows 98 and IE 4.0 , MS has used their philosophy of "Everything inside one" ! Try these , unbelievable , but it works .

1. Restart Excel 97 .
2. Open a new blank document .
3. Press F5 .
4. A reference box will open , type in X97:L97 and press ENTER .
5. Press TAB .This will take you to the cell M97 .
6. Click on the chart wizard button while holding down Control and Shift keys .

Presto ! You are in Flight Simulator . Use mouse to navigate and mouse buttons for speed control . Control+Shift+Escape ends this and takes you back to Excel .

As an Excel user extrordinaire I had to try this.

when I clicked on the chart wizard the dialogue box came up is all. Up until that point everything worked.

I have Windows 2000 and does Excel have to be Excel 97?
