MS Office does not have a calculator AFAIK. How do you activate it while in Excel? Try the one under StartProgramsAcessoriesCalclator. You can create a shortcut to that calculator.

I access the calculator in Excel via:Tools/Customise...then found under COMMANDS, which I place on the MENUE bar in excel. The route you suggested is the same calculator I suspect anyway, but as I say I was wandering if I was able to place it on my TASKBAR so it was a "click" away.?

The program is called "calc.exe", and is found in the following folder in Windows Xp. C:\WINDOWS\system32 Right click, and drag the program to where you would like it. When you release the right button, select "Create Shortcut." HTH :) -- Dana DeLouis Win XP & Office 2003 "Terry" wrote in message ...

I see Dana has given you what you want, which is a shortcut to the Windows Calc.exe but I have a question..... In Excel...........ToolsCustomizeCommands and then what? I don't see a calculator icon except for the Calculate Now icon under CommandsTools.

Hi Gord! In Excel XP, there is a slight "bug", errrr...I mean feature...
It's under Customize | Command Tab | Tools | and the name is "Custom", not calculator. It's the one under the Camera button. (two below "Calculate now") It looks like a calculator though.

Hi Gord:
Tools Customize Commands Tools ( in the catagories) then select Calculate ( in the Commands field) (its near the camera) and drag it to a toolbar. This icon will bring up the calculator directly from Excel -- Gary''s Student "Gord Dibben" wrote: Terry I see Dana has given you what you want, which is a shortcut to the Windows Calc.exe but I have a question.....

Thanks Dana.
I see the calculator icon now you have pointed out this little fact. Has not been changed in 2003. Remains as "Custom". Gord On Thu, 6 Oct 2005 17:27:35 -0400, "Dana DeLouis" wrote: Hi Gord!

Thanks
See Dana's posting about where/how to find it. I was looking for a "Calculator" item.

Also, some keyboards have a Calculator button, that opens the calc.exe
program. On my Microsoft keyboard, it's above the number keypad.
