Saint, the Excel flight sim worked great!

But I can not get the Word pinball to work.  What version of Word do you need?  I have Word 97 SR-2

mhhh, Dunno, I will ask around

Are you sure you hit "About Excel" in Word? In Word 97 there is no "About Excel" in the Help menu. There's an "About Word", but it doesn't activate any pinball game no matter what you do. I've tried every possible W in the About Word window, with no luck.

Hi All,

Pinball in Word 7.0

Create new Document
Type in Blue
Select Word
Go to Format Menu
Select Font
Select Bold & Blue "Click OK"
Place Single space after Blue
Go to Help Menu, Select "About Microsoft Word"
Hold Down ctrl shift Click on Word Icon

Use Z & M as Flipper Controls.

Have Fun

I tried the Word pinball instructions but my screen goes black for about 2 seconds and then comes back to the Word About window.

My employer must have it disabled or something.  (Bastards)
