How do I make an interactive calculator in power point?

I attend an online college and am working on an interactive power point
presentation concerning financial management. This is an educational based
project teaching students how to balance a budget and a checkbook. Can the
calculator be added to a page in the power point?

Is the calculator an EXE (or another file), or do you actually want to
create it in PPT?

How about just inserting Windows Calculator as an object?

As mentioned before, you can insert the Windows Calculator. Depending on
the version of Windows you have will determine the exact location of this
file, but you could do a search in Windows Explorer for a file called
"calc.exe". If you want to make the interactivity inside PowerPoint, it
will require some VBA programming. I have a sample calculation file you can
download at:

Windows 98, I know for sure (not sure about 2000 or ME), was in C:\Windows.
The calculator program in Windows XP is in C:\Windows\System32. Not sure
where it was in Windows NT.
