Open Office Easter Eggs

As if Open Office wasn't amazing enough, they have packed their software full of Easter Eggs!

OpenOffice Calc
Putting =GAME() into any cell, results the text "say what?" in that cell.

Putting =GAME("Froggie") into any cell results in the cell displaying the text "Froggie". Putting =GAME("Froggie") into any other cell afterward displays the text "oh no, not again!"

If you place the formula =GAME(A2:C4;"TicTacToe") into cell A1, and press enter, a version of the Tic-Tac-Toe game is playable

Place =GAME("StarWars") into any cell within the spreadsheet, and press Enter. A version of Space Invaders is now playable. Once you have finished the game, and you wish to play it again, you will recive the message: "oh no, not again". You must fully close OpenOffice.org in order to play the game again.

Putting =TTT() into any cell and pressing Enter will result in random smiley appearing. :-] ;-] B-) 8-}



OpenOffice Writer
If you enter "StarWriterTeam" (without the quotes) into a blank document, and then press F3, the names and pictures of the StarWriter Development Team appears

If you enter "GoOOTeam" (without the quotes) into a blank document, and then press F3, the names and pictures of the GoOO Development Team appears
