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. It's not complicated.
So, let's get started: 'How to Create a Microsoft Word Macro in 26 Easy Steps' http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/MW//s10p2.html Note on macros: Claims to creating a macro are sometimes exaggerated by ankle-biters as a threat to try and make others shut up from posting so much. The theory is that if you post 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 a fairly decent keyboarder you could probably key in your reply faster than setting up a macro. Go figure.
