An add-in extends functionality to PowerPoint and
other Microsoft Office programs. An add-in can add buttons and custom
commands to the Ribbon or menu items on the File tab (New!).
You can get add-ins for PowerPoint 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
PowerPoint Options.
