title: What does macro mean?
body: <p>I have somewhat experience with what people call excel "macros". The vba code that controls the activeX components, right?</p>
  
  <p>But I still do not know the true meaning of the term macro :). What kind of code is called macro? Is it something like vba or js implemented into a program? Like vba to excel or vba to autocad or js to flex?</p>
