  4. Click Publish in the 'Publish as Web Page' dialog box.

  5. Close Excel, declining to save the worksheet.

  6. Open Internet Explorer.

  7. Choose File, Open, click Browse, and open the file you just saved.

  8. Click in the spreadsheet, and hold Page Down to go to row 2000.

  9. Click the gray header to select row 2000.

  10. Use Tab to move the active cell pointer to cell WC2000.

  11. Hold down Ctrl-Alt-Shift and click the Office logo in the upper left corner.
