Assigned MACRO key question

If I assign a MACRO to the 0 key to turn on three devices, then select a channel and enter 07 as the channel number is the 0 in 07 going to send the MACRO?

More than likely. Once you put the macro on the button it is really no longer the 0 EFC anymore

Without an extender a macro can't call another macro, so the answer is no. With an extender the zero will call the macro and you'll get stuck in an endless loop or you'll crash the extender.

In case gjarboni's answer wasn't complete enough:
Assuming you are not using an extender, the use of any key X in any macro Y will ignore any macro defined on X and will do whatever X would have done if there were no macro on X.
So your macro definition on '0' defines what '0' does when '0' is used outside of a macro. It does not affect what '0' does when '0' is used in a macro, including when '0' is used in its own macro.
