I've been creating and using Word macros for years. However, I've never bothered to figure out what was going on within the VBE window -- other than noting that macros I record (or VBA that I paste in when I choose Create from the Macros dialog) get added to the growing set of code.

I do note that the area such macros get dropped into is named "NewMacros" within the Project area. Instructions in the KB typically seem to have users insert a module -- which typically becomes Module1 -- but why is this different than just adding the code to NewMacros (as seems to be done by default when recording a macro)?

Perhaps somebody out there can provide a succinct answer about this for those of us who are reasonably comfortable with the macro part but not with the structural aspects of VBA.
