[Copying back to the python-win32 list to keep
everything public: more people to help you!]

Well, there *are* search engines out there: putting
VBS and VBA into Google gets you some pretty convincing
hits. But, in short, they are Microsoft's scripting
languages, VBS general purpose, VBA specifically for
Word, Excel etc.

A macro is (in this context; it has several meanings) a
set of recorded actions within Microsoft Word which
eventually spits out a gobbet of VBA which will look
remarkably like the equivalent Python code.
