My immediate thought is that this sort of information would be useful to include in the tag wiki for microsoft-excel. In its current state, the tag wiki doesn't include any information that's particularly useful to people asking questions on the site. Maybe this is a good jumping-off point for reconstructing the Excel tag wiki.
While new users are unlikely to read the tag wiki before asking, this will at least give reviewers the ability to point to a link rather than repeating the same troubleshooting/asking advice on every poor question.
