I have used a macro I wrote and added it into excel. How do I now use it?
Can I create a menu line under tools say, or a shortcut in toolbar?

.

add some code that creates the menu when the workbook opens

Here is some sample code to create a toolbar button on the Formatting as
suggested. This code would go in the ThisWorkbok code module of the addin.

I would also add my usual corollary that to see what FaceIds are available,
visit John Walkenbach's site at http://j-walk.com/ss/excel/tips/tip67.htm

Option Explicit

Dim sMenu As String

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)

sMenu = "myButton"

On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Formatting").Controls(sMe nu).Delete
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim oCB As CommandBar
Dim oCtl As CommandBarControl
Dim newMenu As Object 'CommandBarControl
Dim ctrlButton As Object 'CommandBarControl

sMenu = "Margin Calculator"

On Error Resume Next
Application.CommandBars("Formatting").Controls(sMe nu).Delete
On Error GoTo 0

Set oCB = Application.CommandBars("Formatting")
Set oCtl = oCB.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton, temporary:=True)

With oCtl
.BeginGroup = True
.Caption = sMenu
.FaceId = 197
.Style = msoButtonIconAndCaption
.OnAction = "myMacro"
End With

End Sub

FYI, John's FaceID utility is a static picture of the tool button faces in
Excel 97. For a dynamic look at the faces actually present in the user's
running version of Excel get this utility from Stephen Bullen's site:
