Cannot display Add-in Macro list without going to VBA/Project

[Oliver Gilbert]

In Excel 2007, I have made an Add-In (.xlam) which contains several
Subroutines.
This Add-in is in my Add-In folder, hence loads fine when Excel
launches.
However, I cannot display the Add-Ins macros, e.g. with View | Macros,
unless I:

a) go to Developer | View Code
b) expand AND DISPLAY the Modules under the Project Explorer window
for this Add-In
c) then, finally, find the Macro list in Tools | Macros or Run | Run
Macro

Is there any way to make the Add-In Macro (Sub) list visible from the
regular Excel View menu?

The subs will NOT display if...
Option Private Module is specified in the module
The code is not in a regular/standard module
If the subs are private as in... Private Sub NameOfSub
If the subs have arguments as in... Sub NameOfSub(ByRef lngStuff as Long)

XLA[M] macros do not show in the macros dialog. This has always been
the case. If your file is XLS[M], the macros will show in the macros
dialog.

Forgot to mention...

Usually, addins create their own toolbars/menus to run their macros.

Garry,
Good point.
Should mention that Functions from add-ins will appear in the function list (fx) unless made
private.
