Macro

English (en)

Macro
The term macro, as used in 
computer programming, originally 
stood for macro-instruction, 
meaning an instruction that 
represented a sequence of several 
machine (or micro) instructions. 
Over time, the term has evolved to 
mean any word or phrase that stands 
for another phrase (usually longer 
but built of simpler components). 

A macro is a series of recorded 
actions saved by a program to repeat 
later. Macros can help computer users 
save time by automating repetitive 
tasks.
