Definition

Do not confuse Macros with scripts. Macros are simple tasks/actions/commands set up into sequences for later execution. So, they are kind of abstract containers for more specific functionality and useful for automating different tasks.

Macro is a program being dependent on "host" application; Macro has no assigned its own process identifier and private memory area. Script can have all of that. Please read the definition of macros as well.
