Heads up for Bob: You can't uses spaces for macro names when you record
your macro in Microsoft Word - Word macros "don't like having spaces
between words. You have to put the name of your macro as all one word."
And, you can't create a macro in Yahoo Neo since it runs on HTML and
Java script.
Usually a macro is a shortcut to something you do a lot. If you have a
keyboard or three button mouse you can set up hot keys to help you
perform frequent tasks. I'm posting a link to these simple steps for
setting up a macro in Word. Here are the steps to create a macro in
Microsoft Word. It's not complicated.
So, let's get started:

Note on macros:
Claims to creating a macro are sometimes exaggerated in online chat
rooms as a threat to try and make others shut up from posting so much.
The theory is that if someone posts something they don't like, you can
just run your macro as a rebuttal. This works sometimes on discussion
boards where newbies are easily intimidated.
However, in a fair debate this is considered to be in bad form.
Sometimes snarks make macro claims when in truth they are just copying
pasting from a word processor into another text box. You might argue
that creating a macro is a lot of trouble just to post a one-line reply
in a discussion, and it doesn't seem like a shortcut, since if you are a
fairly decent keyboarder you could probably key in your reply faster
than setting up a macro. Go figure.
P.S. I am uploading this flat file to the FFL forum in case you missed
it and so others can benefit from using simple macros.
