i am trying to learn how to set up macros in a word document, can anyone give
me instructions?

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/...csIn15Mins.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.
