Loading a PowerPoint Add-in

You can load a PowerPoint add-in in any of the following ways:

• Manually, by clicking Add-ins on the Tools menu. The Available Add-ins list displays the available add-ins; you can add add-ins to the list by clicking Add New and locating the add-in file. Any add-in that is currently loaded has an "x" next to its name. To unload an add-in, select it and click Unload. You can use an add-in only when it is loaded.
  
  
• Automatically when PowerPoint starts, by setting the AutoLoad property of the AddIn object to True. The next time you start PowerPoint, the add-in is loaded and the Loaded property is set to True.
  
  
• Programmatically, by setting the Loaded property of the corresponding AddIn object to True.
