That's it; you've recorded a macro. In theory, you can replay the exact actions you took again,
at any time, in any document. So let's try.
To play back your macro:
1. Choose Tools > Macro > Macros.
2. Select the macro you just recorded (it will likely be selected by default).
3. Click Run.
If everything is working correctly, your document will get two more table rows that look
exactly like the two that were already there.

Beautiful, isn't it? No, of course not, but if you look carefully, you can probably make out
approximately what the commands do. If you were so inclined, you could edit the macro
right here—for example, substitute different words in the
Selection.TypeText Text:
lines. Then, to get out of the editor, choose File > Close and Return to Microsoft Word
(Command-Q, just like Quit).
