Try telling that to anyone who has had to deal with one of the many  
Word Macro viruses :-)

>From Word Help:
"What is a macro?
If you perform a task repeatedly in Word, you can automate the task 
by using a macro. A macro is a series of Word commands and 
instructions that you group together as a single command to 
accomplish a task automatically. 
......
Word offers two ways for you to create a macro: the macro recorder 
and the Visual Basic Editor.
.....
Recording a macro
The macro recorder can help you get started creating macros. Word 
records a macro as a series of Word commands in Visual Basic for 
Applications. 
.......
Creating a macro from scratch
You can use the Visual Basic Editor to create very flexible, powerful 
macros that include Visual Basic instructions that you cannot 
record."

Bottom line for me is the Word/Exel use the word Macro differently to 
Access.   There is no single "Microsoft context for the word macro".
