you wont be able to macro on that lens, closest focus distance = 4.9ft.
but your not going to get a good macro lens for $200. do you have a 50mm lens, you can get by with some extension rings untill you can afford a macro lens.

I'd very much recommend against getting the Canon 75-300mm, it is commonly regarded as the weakest lens in Canon's current lineup. The two copies I've had the opportunity to use had terribly slow AF performance and didn't begin to get even moderately sharp at the center until around f/8.
For about $50 more on Amazon you can get the 55-250mm f/4.5-5.6 IS which is a MUCH better and newer design. Sharper at all focal lengths, with less distortion, and a 4-stop Image Stabilizer. You won't regret making the upgrade from the 75-300.
The 50mm lost at the telephoto end is only about 1 degree in terms of angle of view, whereas the 20mm gained at the wide end gives you an extra 7.2 degrees of view. In short, you're gaining more than you're losing by giving up 50mm at the long end for 20mm at the short end .
