Just a guess--and I got a different error when I tested this.

Do you have a module named Macro1?
Did you rename the project to Macro1?

Did you use that name somewhere else?

I'm trying to learn how to use macros and start out by trying to record one.

I went:
Tools
Macro
Record New Macro....

For "Macro name:" I left "Macro1"

click "OK" and get an error message...."That name is not valid."

I've tried everything....starting with a letter, no spaces, opening a new
workbook...keep getting the same error message
