Add in in Excel 2007

[pcor]

I think I did all the right things to add an ADDIN but it does not show up
any where.
Here is what I did
Go to EXCEL option and select ADDIN
click on the add ins that I wanted
but they never show up anywhere
What I am doing wrong
Thanks

Place the Addin in a folder you won't likely remove it from. Open Excel and
hit Tools-->Addins. Hit the Browse button and browse to the folder in which
you placed the file, and select the file (addins are XLA files, you can't
use DLL files--which are COM addins--in Excel 97).

Hi Anne

Just a quick "heads up", the OP is asking about XL2007 not XL97

For XL2007, first click the round Office button>Excel Options>Addins
You see a list of your Addins, and clicking them merely shows details
about them
At the bottom of the page, the default is to Manage Addins, though using
the dropdown you also have choices for a list of other things.
Click GO and you will see the familiar dialogue for your Add ins, which
you can then select.
If, they will operate under XL2007, then they will be installed and you
will see them listed on the Add Ins tab of the XL2007 ribbon.
