Default How to find explanation of Excel error values in Help?

With Excel 2003, when I follow the advice to enter #NULL! into help, one of
the first topics listed is "ERROR.TYPE worksheet function". (Similarly if
you use #VALUE! in help.) Is that what you are looking for? If so, I
don't know why it isn't appearing in Help for you with the same Excel
version.

Thanks for the effort. Unfortunately, that does not seem to get me
any closer to the information. I should have said that I am using
Office Excel 2003. Apparently, Help has been "improved" since XL2000
<sigh.

Now that you mention it, I do believe I stumbled across the desired
information by typing #VALUE or such. But not today <wink. I even
tried enabling Microsoft Online and searching there, to no avail. I
must admit I did not try very hard, since I prefer to find the
information offline.

Enter #NULL! in the Index box, and the first item in the Topic box is
Troubleshoot formulas and error values - from here you can see them
all listed in the right-hand panel.

This is with XL2000 - it might be different in later versions.
