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

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.

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)
