http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA100310711033.aspx Macros automate frequently-used tasks; many are created with VBA (Visual Basic for Applications (VBA): A macro-language version of Microsoft Visual Basic that is used to program Microsoft Windows-based applications and is included with several Microsoft programs.) and are written by software developers. However, some macros pose a potential security risk. A person with malicious intent can introduce a destructive macro, in a document or file, which can spread a virus (virus: A computer program or macro that "infects" computer files by inserting copies of itself into those files. When the infected file is loaded into memory, the virus can infect other files. Viruses often have harmful side effects.) on your computer.

The program will be able to save and run macros. Macros are short programs in applications to do set tasks. They can sometimes be susceptible to viruses, which is why sometimes applications are not macro-enabled. If the user trusts the macro then they can enable the macros and they will work.
