How to install 2003 addins (.xla) in Excel 2010?

[Durian910]

Hello fellow Excel users,

I recently upgraded from Excel 2003 to Excel 2010. I have an add-in that I built in 2003 and backed up before my Excel upgrade, and I am wondering how to bring it in to Excel 2010.

It is an .xla file that adds an item to the now drastically re-arranged Options menu. Clicking on the menu item opens a UserForm where the user can choose one of three actions, each one involving opening certain kinds of text files and formatting them.

Can I even bring it in to Excel 2010 now that the Ribbon has replaced the old menus and command bars? How do I do this?

I have not yet found an Excel book that addresses migrating add-ins when you upgrade to Excel 2010. If someone could recommend one, I would appreciate it very much.

Thank you to anyone who can provide some guidance.
