Default Creating a Simple Macro

Hello members,

I am new to Macros, but I am trying to create a simple macros
that will write a sentence or two, when I open my email program,
then I would press the macros button and it writes the sentence for me.

But I am having trouble. When I start the process by clicking on the Tools
Menu
to create a Macro, it asks me for a name, then I click "Create". It then
brings me to a "VBA" editor, and I absolutely lost here. I tried typing
in the
sentence for my emal, but it I am getting different errors" such as
"syntax error", etc. Needless to say the macro I created does not run,

Could someone please explain to me "STEP BY STEP" What to do when the
Visual Basic Editor starts. What is the first thing I do, and what buttons
do I presss to avoid the "error messages" I am a beginner, so can you guide
me step by step please. Thankyou, Rich

Are you talking about Outlook (2007) or Word?
