title: What is MAKEWORD used for?
body: <p>I have come across this macro <code>MAKEWORD(2,2)</code> in a piece of instructional code. I read in MSDN that it "<em>Creates a WORD value by concatenating the specified values.</em>" </p>
  
  <p>The question is, isn't a WORD something like an unsigned integer why would I ever need to do such a strange procedure such as using <code>MAKEWORD()</code>?</p>
