Default Create macro without using the Recorder

How do you create a macro in Word 365 without using the Recorder? I would like to copy and paste macro steps that I have in a Word document into a new macro. I can't find a setting for creating a new macro without deleting an existing one.

Open the Visual Basic Editor (Alt+F11) and type. E.g.
Code:
Sub NameOfMacro()
‘Lines of code
End Sub

As Italophile said, the quick way to open the VBA editor is to press Alt-F11

This might help too
