# After installing, the Add-ins menu is not showing in PowerPoint

In PowerPoint, go to File \> Options \> Add-ins \> **manage PowerPoint Add-ins rather than COM Add-ins in the dropdown** \> Go \> Add new

Now find the ppvote.ppam (the default location is: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ppvote)

Click on ppvote.ppam \> OK.

When you exit the menus the Add-ins tab should be available with the CLiKAPAD menu.

If the menu still isn’t there, in PowerPoint, go to File \> Options \> Add-ins \> Manage and choose Disabled items in the dropdown to see if ppvote is listed.

Also check the Trust Center settings. Check settings for Add-ins, ActiveX Settings and Macro Settings. I have also set the ppvote folder as a trusted location but that may not be necessary.

If the above doesn't resolve the issue, often an Office repair followed by a reinstall and reboot does.
