1: Everything - You type in a search string, and Everything displays a list of matching files and folders. The response is almost instantaneous for normal systems.

2. E-mail Follow-up  - lets you set a response time when you create the email; if the recipient hasn’t responded by the allotted response time, this nifty little add-in reminds you that you’re still waiting on a response.
3.  More Add-in lets you quickly and easily hide Word text by creating collapsible sections. Anyone who creates long documents comprising the same blocks of text will find this add-in useful.
4.  FreeFileViewer lets you view a number of formats so you need only one viewer. Using FreeFileViewer, you can read a PDF, a Word document, an Excel spreadsheet, and more. You can even play music files.
5. ASAP Utilities - solutions are easier to find and implement. If you ever find yourself thinking, I know Excel can do this, but how?, turn to ASAP Utilities.
6. Proposal Pack Wizard - Try this Word add-in if you manage large business documents, such as proposals, contracts, quotes, grants, and bids. Using merge technology, Proposal Pack Wizard lets you quickly assemble documents.
7.  VisualBee - lets you enhance an existing presentation. When you run VisualBee, it analyses the presentation’s text and structure and tries to improve what you’ve done on your own
8. iSpring Pro converts a PowerPoint presentation into an online Flash presentation
9. Pop-up Excel Calendar lets you insert and configure a datepicker control without writing code. 
10. Fuzzy Duplicate Finder - helps you find all those fuzzy duplicates — those mistakes that don’t always show up as mistakes.  It’ll also find typos and misspelled words in your Excel workbooks and help you handle what it finds.
