Create a AddIN for Word and here is your complete code....
It adds a Button to the Standard Toolbar named X4U Button.
When you click, calc is executed.
Hope this helps, here comes the Connect.cs
Take car that you change the GUID and Name of your Addion to that you have
created with Visual Studio Wizard.
