There is not a one-for-one replacement.  However, Word will let you view the 
macro editting screen and the document simulaneously in two separate windows. 
 Open the macro, then open the document (or a new blank one). From the menu, 
select Window\Arrange All.  This will arrange the macro and document window 
into two equal sized horizontal windows.
Place your cursor in the macro window at the point of interest to record a 
new macro command.  You will note that the macro toolbar is visible because 
the macro window is open.  Now place your cursor in the document window.
Click on the button that looks like a dot with a "1" beside it.  This button 
tells word to record a single command in the current macro. Press 
Control-end.  This will cause the command "EndofDocument" to be recorded in 
your present macro.
This may seem cumbersome at first.  But you will learn to appreciate actually 
visualizing the action on the screen, rather than in your mind as you record 
macro changes.
