Paige,
What about toggling the calculation mode with the notice in StatusBar? A
linked two-way short-key would be useful.

Private Sub AutoManuCalculation()
With Application
If .Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic Then
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.StatusBar = "ATTENTION Manual calculation!"
Else
.StatusBar = False
.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End If
End With
End Sub

Here you go for the whole workbook

Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target
As Range)
If Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic Then
ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1) = "Auto"
If Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual Then ActiveSheet.Cells(1,
1) = "Manual"
End Sub

I need to have a cell that tells the user what the current state of
calculation is (i.e., is it set to automatic or manual); this would have to
change automatically whenever calculation is changed from auto to manual or
vice versa. The workbook is normally set to auto, but the user can change
the status manually back and forth. Where/how can I insert code that would
be triggered to update whenever calc is changed, and look to see what it was
changed to? Tried putting some code under various worksheet and workbook
events, but keep getting those pesky little 'out of stack space' messages!
