One of the best ways I've found to learn vba is to look at code written by a very good programmer and try stepping through it to see what it does. The code put together by the macro recorder can be a start but it is never well written. Many functions in Word cannot be captured by the recorder.
In case you haven't guessed, Paul is a very good programmer.
A very good book IMHO is Writing Word Macros by Steve Roman, from O'Reilly even though I think it was written for Word 2000.
As far a s time goes, if you need macros to do your work, try investing an hour a week in learning. It will repay you very quickly.
