Default In Word XP can a document be turned into a macro?

To complete the answer, although you can -- at least theoretically --
create a macro that inserts, formats, and positions all the text and
graphics in any particular document, it would require doing at least
as much work as retyping the document. The idea is a non-starter.

A template is the correct approach. See

template can contain macros if needed.

I created a document that I like. Instead of making it into a template,

can I
make it a macro without retyping?
