You'll need to write a macro that runs the calc.exe file. Then, you can
create a Toolbar Button for the macro.

I came up with this for the macro:

Sub WinCalculator()
Dim RetVal As Long
RetVal = Shell("C:\WINDOWS\System32\calc.exe", vbNormalFocus)
End Sub

You may have to alter the filepath to match where calc.exe is located on
your machine. You can right-click on the calculator icon, click properties to
find this info.

Then, in Word create a macro stored in Normal.dot . You can do this with
Tools | Macro. Then, type a new macro name (no spaces in macro names), and
click create. Paste this in the middle of the macro:

Dim RetVal As Long
RetVal = Shell("C:\WINDOWS\System32\calc.exe", vbNormalFocus)


Finally, Tools | Customize | Commands.
Find the macro category and drag a button for your macro to the Toolbar of
your choice. You use Modify command on the same dialog box to alter the
buttons image as necessary.

icon can be put on a toolbar?
