What does MACRO mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A single instruction or command that automatically carries out a longer, predefined sequence of actions.
A macro lets a user record or write a series of steps once and then run them again with a single click or keystroke, which is why spreadsheets, word processors, and text editors all offer macro tools. The word is short for macroinstruction, and programmers also use macro more broadly for any piece of code that expands into other code before a program runs. Because a macro repeats the same steps exactly every time, it also cuts down on the errors that creep into repetitive manual work.
