I'll first explain what I'm working on and then maybe someone can tell me how 
to better accomplish it with the BN.

I am writing up a narrative budget for an organization and have loaded the 
figures into the BN so I can work on it while in transit, etc. I have notations 
of which figures go with which budget categories in keyword files. Periodically 
I need to make some calculations as I add figures. Some of the figures involved 
in these calculations are already in the document and some I must add to it.

What I want to do is to be able to mark figures and put them into the 
calculator as a string of entities in a calculation, then get the result and 
paste that back into the document. I sometimes just want to add or subtract 2 
or 3 figures, then jump back into my document and paste the results.

I know how to put a calculation into the BN calculator and paste its result 
into the document in the word processor. Is there a way, without spending half 
my natural life cutting and pasting, that I can easily slip back and forth 
between the calculator and document without losing info?

As it sstands, I'm doing this process with a talking calculator on one knee and 
the BN on the other just to get all the calculations done. My knees aren't that 
wide yet despite my best efforts over the holidays. Any help would be hugely 
appreciated.

And just a suggestion for future revisions of the BN calculator. How about the 
ability to mark, with a single command, a number, bordered by, let's say, 
spaces, and transfer it to the calculator. Then, how about the ability to jump 
quickly into said calculator and run the equation, then paste it back into the 
document? We're already halfway there, right?
