Thank you, Marty!

I see that there is no such features of creating COM Add-Ins as they had
in MS Office 2000 and MS Office XP Developer Editions.
So one have to use Visual Studio .NET or Visual Studio 6 to create COM
Add-Ins.
That's OK and this is not a problem for me.

Thank you for all your help,
Shamil
