WordBasic was the macro language with older versions of Word...and worked for Word only. Beginning with Office 97, most office products use VBA. The exception is Outlook, which uses VB Script. What's nice is that you only need one macro language across Office products AND MS licenses VBA to many other companies for use in their products.
