I just noticed that when I use Microsoft Word, under tools-->macro there's a "Visual Basic Editor." Does this mean I already have a visual basic compiler on my comp? That'd be pretty cool.
 
No you have VBA which is a limited version of VB. It does not have a compiler and it run through the Microsoft Office applications IDE via in-time compiler technology. It is slower, much less versatile and professional. It's means is to enhance your office documents, spreadsheets, databases etc.
 
Microsoft does include Visual Basic in the word but that's Visual Basic for APPLICATION. so you can program your macro in the office application with VB. Like MS-access and excel also have it.
Here is
