I've made an xlam to save all my editing macros as an add-in. I've also confirmed that sheets with the add-in installed do have the add-in show up in the add-in tab, and also as a VB project when I press alt-f11. I also have the file location where the xlam saved as a trusted source. However when I press alt f8 I still do not see the add-in macros.

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
From feeble memory...When you right-click on a button to specify the macro to call type in the name of the sub in the add-in. Like I said, from memory that should work for an installed add-in. By the way, do you see the add-in file listed in the VBA editor (Project Explorer)? If not then AFIK that indicates that the add-in is not installed.

When you double click on one of the modules (for example SetBookCellCol) what code appears in the window

The 3rd picture shows that the exlam is in the editor

Like I said, FOR ME, if I type the name of a sub that is in my add-in into the "Assign Macro" setting for a button it works (i.e., calls the sub in the add-in). Right click the button and type in the name of the sub that is in the add-in.

And, I called the same sub that is in the add-in from a normal sub in my .xlsm file just like any sub in the .xlsm workbook.

VBA Code:
Sub Junk()

    Call BasicNameAdd_SheetLevel '<= call sub in installed addin.

End Sub

You wouldn't normally see an add-in in the menu you get by pressing Alt + F8.
If you want it to run by clicking something just add it to your QAT by using the more commands option
