To record a macro, all you have to do is start the recording, for example by clicking Record Macro on the Developer tab, and then perform the steps you want to automate. Be aware that macro recording has its limitations, and many macros require some editing to be really useful.

As Stefan pointed out, there are things the macro recorder does not record. Once you learn how, writing them instead of recording, will give better macros.

Note also that Word has some different tools that handle many of the tasks for which macros are used in other word processing programs.
