Sure, go to your tools menu using alt ;t. Type ;m for macros. Arrow down once to "record new macro and press enter.
Here there are fields, macro "name, short-cut key, "store macro in" discriptionand OK. Be sure your shortcut key is control-plus-a letter, and enter on OK. Do what ever it is you need to do on your spreadsheet, Then re-open your macros using the same procedure you did the first time. Arrow down to "stop recording", hit enter and you should be good to go. I suppose someone could send you a spreadsheet with malicious or funky macros, but I can't see any danger in using your own or ones from trusted sources.
