The Word Easter Egg is a Pinball Game.

Make sure you type uppercase B and lower case for the rest.
Select the text and change the font to Bold and the colour blue.  Press OK
Unselect the text and add a single space after the word Blue (Make sure that
you don't press the space bar right away as the word Blue is still selected)
then....

My theory is that someone has gone out and got himself a thousand monkeys
to bang around on the keyboard to find these Easter Eggs.  :)
