Need help creating a macro

[db@Metro]

I have created an MS Word fill-in form that can be filled out within the
browser by members of my work group from our Intranet site. In stead of
teaching everyone how to save, rename insert into an outlook message and send
to the desired recipient, I'd like to have a "submit" button that did all
that with a macro. Trouble is, I have no clue how to do it. I have a
minimal understanding of macros...mostly that they exist and do great things.
I know that you can record them from within Word, but I got nowhere when I
tried. Anybody out there able to point me in the right direction? Any
chance I'm not the first one to want this and there's already one out there
that could be tailored to my use?
