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:

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.
Oh, I see. So macros are a form of terrorism, intimidation and misuse of
power. I get it now. (Guffaw) I thought you Texans were tougher than that.
