You can install Add-In software to most Office 2007 applications.  Microsoft bundled add-in software with this release of Office.  The software is included with 2007 but is not automatically installed.  Here I am going to demonstrate how to complete the process with Excel 2007.

Click on the Microsoft Office Button Excel Options Add-Ins  You can highlight the various add-Ins to get a brief description of what it does.

Make sure you have Manage: Excel Add-ins selected and click the Go… button and select the available Add-in from the resulting screen.
