Maybe you're creating an Excel worksheet to help track your mortgage or budget and want more help by having an Office add-in right in your worksheet? If you do, here's how you insert an add-in.
Important: New name for apps for Office - Office Add-ins. We are currently updating our products, documentation, samples, and other resources to reflect the platform name change from "apps for Office and SharePoint" to "Office and SharePoint Add-ins". We made this change to better distinguish the extension platform from Office apps (applications). While these changes are taking place, the dialogs and messages you see in your application might be different than what you see in this article.
