Fun from Microsoft

oh!oh! you gotta ahow us how to do that!

Its easy if youve made a macro before. Just start recording it, type in your messege, then click print once, then delete the message. stop macro and put it on a command button.
On our college network, you can connect to some printers not even in your classroom, so you can get it to print in some other building and everyone wonders where the hell it comes from.

Did you know that a flight number from one of the
planes that hit one of the two WTC towers on 9/11 was
Q33N?

In Notepad / WordPad or MS Word, type in that flight
number i.e Q33N. Increase the font size to 72 Change
the font to Wingdings ..... u will be amazed by the
findings!!!.......................
