Hi,
1) Learn Word. Writing macros only works well if you know what tools are
already built in. Otherwise you spend weeks trying to duplicate a function
you can call from a menu or with a single command. See the users guide below
for starters.
2) Take a look at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/VBABasicsIn15Mins.htm.
3) Macros are usually kept in templates rather than documents. For more on
the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog, and locations
of templates folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm.

4) Pick one or two specific things you are trying to accomplish and work on
those. Try recording a macro or writing one to accomplish what you are
trying to do. (Recording will get you code to work with, probably not the
best code, but it is a start.) Debug and ask for help in the
word.vba.beginners newsgroup.
5) Pick up Steve Roman's book on Word Macros.
