Good question, Bob. <grin>
I imagine that a Google web search would turn up some answers:
inurl:excel "what is a macro"
You could start at the VBA Tutorials and read the first page
of each tutorial (Introductions) to get an idea of what macros are.

You might also take a look at Chip Pearson's page as well
Macros and Functions (, for the difference between)

A macro is an abbreviation for a set of commands, so instead of typing a
complicated sequence of commands you can simply type the macro's name. You
can either think of macros as a new commands in their own right or as
subroutines.
Virtually anything that can be done by hand in Excel, can be written into a
"Macro" so one can only invoke the macro when they want that particular list
of commands instead of having to type each one each time.
