Unfortunately, it will only work with Excel 2000.

Yep....looks like it's only compatible with 2000 and possibly earlier :(

It's only in Excel 2000. Excel 97 had a different one, a flight simulator.

Any other games or special thing that we can do on Excel 2003?

Cheers!!!

From the wikipedia entry for excel:

Versions 5.0 to 9.0 of Excel contain various Easter eggs although since version 10 onwards it appears Microsoft has taken measures to make sure such items no longer appear in their products.

Since Office 2003 is version 11.0, I don't think you'll find any easter eggs. I did read that if you search for "tortured soul" in the excel help you get some kind of funny result about a crabby office lady, but that's not nearly as cool as a driving game.

sweetloop is correct - there is no 'Easter Egg' in XL2003 - sorry.

but never know when something new comes up to our ear,.....???
