Andrew,
You can add a button for "CalculateAll" or "CalculateProject" but not
for a general purpose calculator - at least not without resorting to an
add-in or a userform (I.e. VBA).

I'm not a Windows wiz but I think you can call up the Windows calculator
utility with a specific set of hot keys - at least you can on a Mac.
Maybe a more savy Windows user can chime in and tell you which hot keys
make the calculator appear.

I'd probably be inclined to put the calculator on my Quick Launch
toolbar in Windows if I didn't have a keyboard which allows me to
launch it with one key.

However, you can add a shortcut key to any program by finding applying
a shortcut to the properties of the executable (Calc.exe for
calculator). Find the calculator in the menu (usually Start > All
Programs > Accessories for Windows XP) and right click on the menu
item. In the shortcut menu, choose properties. Click the Shortcut
tab and press and hold the CTRL + ALT + key of your choice to assign
that key combination as the shortcut key.
