First, when I first ran the macro I got an alert that Keyboard Maestro wanted access to my Systems Preferences app or something like that. I finally clicked OK and then got a second alert asking something similar, and I think I clicked cancel. It all went so fast. But then the macro itself worked perfectly. Just curious. What was that all about?

The macro uses AppleScript and within it interacts with System Events. For more information, check this out:

Second, I would like the macro to open a Microsoft Word document rather than a text edit document. How can I make that change?

I've updated the macro to Version 1.1. It now has a variable for the File Extension. Download this macro and change the value of local_FileExtension to docx.
