A macro is a small program designed to do a task. It is useful for doing repetitive tasks. If you start recording a macro, it will remember everything you do within a program. Once you stop recording. it stops remembering, but still stores this previous info. When the macro is played, it will repeat everything you did while you were recording the macro. So a macro is basically a repeater. You can save the marcro and use it again regularly. It may be for some task that you do quite often, that is always done the same way and has a lot of steps. Instead of doing them one by one every time you need to do the task, the steps can be saved in a macro.
