Is there a way to keep the computer calculator maximized on the screen? I find myself using my calculator quite a bit when working with documents. I will add something or multiply, then type in the word document. When I type the calculator minimizes. Sometimes it drives me nuts. There are quite a few computer things I don't know about and wonder if this is one! Thanks

(I hope I explained this clearly)

Thanks to both of you--I maximized and downloaded. Hopefully these will help me to now stay sane!

You're asking an awful lot of a simple computer program.

Another option is to open the calculator then reduce the window size of the Word Document until you can see the open calculator on your desktop. At least it works this way in Windows XP . . . not sure about Vista. Turns out the calculator isn't really minimizing, just being pushed behind your active window.
