Microsoft released the Office binary format specification earlier in the year and I'm going through a fair few thousand pages of spec building .Net libraries to read and write the files at the byte level.
Below is an errata which I'll keep up-to-date during the process.
OfficeDrawing97-2007BinaryFormatSpecification.pdf
Various types aren't correct
STD is used as a default but never described
MSOCOLORNONE is used as a default but never described
P44 refers to MSOSRH, MSOPRH, MSOPV and MSOPRV which aren't documented anywhere
P49 says line left style twice but should probably say Line Row Style
P51 wzSigSetupProvId claims to be property 192 but is 1922
P52 refers to msopctSizeNone and msopctPosNone and MSOSRH which aren't defined anywhere
No documentation is provided for the additional line styles' extended color information
