An add-in extends functionality, such as smart tags, to Microsoft Office programs (New!). An add-in can add buttons and custom commands to the Ribbon. You can get add-ins for PowerPoint on the Microsoft Office Online 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 tab of an Office program depending on functionality and includes a special ScreenTip that identifies the developer. You can view and manage add-ins from the Add-in area in PowerPoint Options. View Installed Add-ins ![](/books/1/394/1/html/2/images/f14pp02.jpg)
