title: How to save a word macro as an add-in
body: <p>Trying to save a MS Word macro as an add-in, fully independent, portable and installable as a word tool.  What kind of literature should I consult to learn this technique?</p>
  
  <p>So far I've tried looking on Google and StackOverflow.  Many people ask similar questions, no one seems to provide a valid answer.</p>
  
  <p>In the end, I would like to be able to export a macro in the form of a exe/batch/whatever to be summoned/installed from word and customize the tools ribbon permanently, to conceal the macro sourcecode and easily propagate to other machines.</p>
