Details
The Office Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT) is a program that provides a detailed report of your installed Office programs. This report includes many parameters about your Office program configuration and highlights known problems found when OffCAT scans your computer. For any problems that are listed in the report, you are provided with a link to a public-facing article (usually a Microsoft Knowledge Base article) on the issue so you can read about possible fixes for the problem. If you are a Help Desk professional, you can also save the report to file so that the report can be viewed in the Office Configuration Analyzer Tool on another client where the tool is installed.

OffCAT is very useful for Help Desk personnel when end-users call for help with Office programs or when you want to proactively identify possible issues. OffCAT also includes a command-line version that can be used to collect an OffCAT scan without user intervention.

With OffCAT, you can take the following actions to help you detect problems with your Office programs or the Office programs on other computers you support:

• Scan an Office program for known issues.
• Review detailed configuration information for Windows, hardware, the user, the Office and scanned program installation, the registry, and much more.
• Open a previously-run OffCAT scan on your computer.
• Import an OffCAT scan from another computer.
• Determine if your Office program is up-to-date.
• Resolve known errors and crashes with real-time problem detection.
• Open articles most frequently read by Office customers.
• Update your OffCAT installation with new detection rules or application files.
• Scan computers using a command-line version of OffCAT.
• Use specialized logging in Outlook.
• Use workbook and document analyzers in Excel and Word.
• Send feedback to the OffCAT team.

OffCAT 2.1 is a minor update for OffCAT 2.0 as it includes a number of improvements and fixes. Additional details are provided in the OffCAT v2.1 ReadMe.docx file.
