Office 2007 Install Add-Ins

You can install Add-In software to most Office 2007 applications.  Microsoft bundled add-in software with this release of Office.  The software is included with 2007 but is not automatically installed.  Here I am going to demonstrate how to complete the process with Excel 2007.

Click on the Microsoft Office Button \ Excel Options \ Add-Ins  You can highlight the various add-Ins to get a brief description of what it does.

3

Make sure you have Manage: Excel Add-ins selected and click the Go… button and select the available Add-in from the resulting screen.

4

Click Yes to the confirmation screen.

5

Now just wait while Office installs the selected Add-Ins.  When finished you can click the Add-Ins tab on the Ribbon to start using them.

There are also third-party Add-Ins as well.  What are some of your favorites?

    Perhaps you should also explain in which folder a custom add-in file should be saved to have it appear in the list of add-ins. The folder path is different for Windows XP and Windows Vista.
