I would like to create a macro which would run a particular rule on the Junk
mail folder. Unfortunately in Outlook it is not possible to create the
macro by recording keystrokes as in Excel and I am not familiar with using
the VB editor.

Is there information available about how to create the above macro? Your
help will be greately appreciated.

Not possible unless you have Outlook 2007, which is the first version to provide the ability to run rules programmatically. You'd have to write your own VBA code to perform the desired operations. These pages should help you get started:
