Default Understanding Macros

Word 2003. Every time I run into a Word glitch, I'm directed towards macros.
I've been to the mvp site over and over. I simply do not understand macros at
all. I don't understand how to create one, how to run one, what all that
"stuff" means, etc. I have tried numerous times and end up shutting
everything down in total frustration. I gladly do the repetitive tasks that
macros are supposed to streamline because it's easier than trying to figure
out macros!

But now I HAVE to figure them out -- I'm creating a large series of locked
forms templates that will need to be spellchecked after data entry and I
can't find a workaround.

I want to do a continuing ed class on this, but in the interim can anyone
recommend a book that offers REALLY simple, step-by-step explanations of
macros? I'm stressing REALLY SIMPLE here! I checked my local library for
"Macros for Dummies" but got no hits. I appreciate any direction anyone can
give. Thank you!
