Viewing and Managing Add-ins

An add-in extends functionality to Word and other Microsoft Office programs. An add-in can add buttons and custom commands to the Ribbon or menu items or buttons within the program. You can get add-ins for Word on the Office.com web site in the Downloads area, or on third-party vendor web sites. When you download and install an add-in, it appears on the Add-Ins or other tabs depending on functionality, and includes a special ScreenTip that identifies the developer. You can view and manage add-ins from the Add-Ins pane in Options. In Options from the Customize Ribbon pane, you can also show or hide the Add-ins tab.
