You can add up to 20 of your own custom macros to the Word add-in!  If you already have a few macros you use in your personal macro file, you can put them in a custom add-in file and use them within the Word add-in.  This is helpful for a few reasons:

• Reference your own macros in the XLEV8 ribbon tab, with keyboard shortcuts, or from the Search Macros box
• Set keyboard shortcuts more more easily and in bulk compared to setting them one at a time for your Normal.dot macro file
• Share your custom add-in file with co-workers so they can leverage your work
• Cut out issues with multiple versions of your Normal.dot macro file when Word crashes
