When you are talking Word and Excel, there isn't a difference IMO. 
Now if we are talking Access, that's a whole different ball of wax.

If you look in Word 2K (or Excel 2K) under the Tools menu, you will 
see a Macro Sub Menu. Under that it has Macros... and Record New 
Macro amongst other things.

If you select Macros, that will open a dialog that will allow you to 
run any of the VBA macros (procedures) that have been written or 
recorded in the open templates or documents.

If you select Record New Macro, you can carry out steps that, for the 
most part, get recorded into a new procedure (macro).

In Word (or Excel) development, Macro is certainly an accepted and 
accurate term. In Access they are not the same.

The problem lays in the connotation that Macro brings. It implies 
that it is something less than programming. But we all know it's not.
