PowerPoint add-ins are similar to Excel add-ins. You build a PowerPoint add-in to provide additional functionality to users while they're developing or running a PowerPoint slide presentation. In most cases, the user works with your add-in by clicking a toolbar button or menu item that you've included with the add-in.
For information about when to create a PowerPoint add-in and when to create a PowerPoint template, see "PowerPoint Templates" later in this chapter.
