MS Word macros are not transferable to InCopy. However, using InCopy doesn't mean you have to toss out Word. You could run the macro in Word before bringing the text into InCopy (or InDesign, and from there to InCopy). Or if you have raw text in InCopy, you could export it, run the macro in Word, then place it back in to InCopy, replacing the raw copy.

Or, it's quite possible that you could write a script (VB Script, Applescript or Javascript) that does what your macro does, and then IC users could run the script from IC's scripts palette. Essentially the same as running a macro. InDesign has a Scripts palette too.

(btw InCopy does have a Text Macros palette but this refers to pure text replacement ... I can make a Text Macro that automatically enters "Linda L. Snyder" whenever I type "LLS" for example.)

Finally it's possible that ID's or IC's Paragraph/Character styles can do what the macro does, hard to say without seeing what the macro needs to do. With Styles you can do a lot of automatic formatting on a range of text with a savvy combination of Nested Styles, Based on Styles, and (Automatically Apply) Next Styles.
