How do you add apps to Microsoft Office 2010 programs?

Microsoft Apps for Office instructions state:

Go to Word (or Excel)

  1. Go to the "Insert" tab
  2. Click the "Apps for Office" button
  3. Go to "My Apps"
  4. Select your app
  5. Click "Insert"

I have Office Home and Student 2010 installed on my desktop. I would like to add a couple of Microsoft's free apps to my Word and Excel programs.

The above instructions came from http:// office.microsoft.com/en-us/store/add-apps-for-  

These instructions are simple and great, but I cannot locate this invisible button. I see by their outline that it should be located where the ribbon's Mailings tab is located, and I even tried the Mailings tab as well after the Insert tab to no avail.

Does anyone have any advice for me on this matter?

Thanks in advance,

    Hi

    RE: "I can't find the Apps for Office button"

    I also have this problem and would like to install an app so if you can tell me what to do that would be great.

    These instructions:

    Go to Word (or Excel) - (done)

    1. Go to the "Insert" tab - (have opened the Insert menu)
    2. Click the "Apps for Office" button - This button is not there therefore I cannot proceed to steps 3-5
    3. Go to "My Apps"
    4. Select your app
    5. Click "Insert"

    If this button does not appear on the Toolbar under Insert, how do I locate it, or is there another way to install an app.

    I am using Microsoft Word 2010

    Thank-you

    Hi HJtga

    The Apps for office are only available in the Microsoft Office 2013 products.

    I can't find my Apps for Office button, either :(

    Hi Andrea,

    I would need more information to assist you with the issue:

    Mention the edition name and version of Office installed on the computer?

    What do you mean by ‘I can't find my Apps for Office button’?

    Provide us more information to help us assist you further.

    Thank you
