[Natty girl]

I will like to know what is a macro. Recently i have been getting
spreadsheets and they have macros and i will like to know what are they? How
can i start to use them in my spreadsheets, and how do i use it?

I use Microsoft Excel 2003.

A macro is a sequence of stored commands.
There is a separate forum for Excel vba. This one is for Word.
