Office Error Message and Their Meaning

Microsoft offers an Excel workbook that lists all (yes, all) the Office error messages and their corresponding values. The file, Errormsg.xls, is available by download at

Once you've downloaded the file--an EXE file, which you should find in the Program Files\ORKTools\Download\Documents\Cstalert folder--run it. The EXE file will install several files, including Errormsg.xls. At that point, simply open Errormsg.xls in Excel. Each Office application has its own sheet--click the corresponding tab to view the error messages for an application. Since you're working with an Excel workbook, you can easily add your own notes and information to each record.
