It has been a while since I did this, but here's the general idea:

By default, Excel doesn't include the 3D appearance on an EGA monitor.
However, by adding the line "NewLook=1" (or perhaps "New Look=1") to the 
[Excel] section of your WIN.INI file, Excel WILL use the 3D look.

By the way, this same technique works for Word for Windows.
