What are Microsoft Word macros and how can I use them?

Microsoft Word macros are sequences of instructions that automate repetitive tasks in Word. You can create them using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). Would you like to know how to create a macro?

Yes, please explain how to create a macro in Word.

To create a macro in Word, go to the 'View' tab, click on 'Macros', then 'Record Macro'. Name your macro, assign it a button or keyboard shortcut, and perform the actions you want to automate. When done, click 'Stop Recording'. Would you like to see an example?

That sounds great! Can you give me an example of a simple macro?

Sure! A simple macro could format selected text to bold and italic. Record a macro, select some text, apply bold and italic formatting, then stop recording. Now, whenever you run that macro, it will apply those formats automatically!
