Abstract
Traditionally, a macro is a relatively small piece of code that an application can execute to perform some simple task. For example, you could write a macro to build a definition list. The code could give each paragraph a hanging indentation (the lines after the first are indented) and make the words in each paragraph that appear before the first em dash bold. The result might look like this:
-
Macros—This chapter explains fundamental concepts you should understand to program the Office XP applications.

-
