Developer Tab

This group is not related to whether the Developer tab is displayed or not.
There is also a record macro shortcut on the status bar (same as Excel).
The Developer tab contains additional commands relating to Visual Basic and can be displayed by selecting (File > Options)(General tab, "Show Developer tab in Ribbon").


If you want to add or edit worksheet controls then you will need to display the Developer tab.
This can be displayed by selecting (Office Button > Word Options)(Popular tab, "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon").
I would have thought this tab would have contained all the commands relating to macros as well, but three of the macro commands are available on the View tab.

Visual Basic - (Alt + F11). Opens the Visual Basic Editor allowing you to create and edit VBA macros.
Macros - (Alt + F8). Displays the "Macro" dialog box allowing you to run, edit and delete macros.
Record Macro - Records a macro. There is also a shortcut to this in the bottom left of the application window. This changes into "Stop Macro" while a macro is being recorderd.
