Other than reviewing best practices for the content and display of error 
messages from a macro I would check Andrew Piontyak's Basic guide for 
OO/LO. I am not sure of the links.

Probably the best advise is to think of the user, the desired (or 
required) response from them, and being clear but concise about the 
problem. If possible indicate to the user what they can do to possibly 
fix the problem. Many error messages are extremely cryptic to the users.
