no Next in list of users and groups

Groups.aspx will not display more than 100 groups !!

We have a site collection with many users and groups. It consist of approximately 745 groups created with different depts. When I go to see a list of users and groups, I only see the first page i.e. 100 groups only !! this is actually very strange as i compared with other site collections that are running in our farm, those sites are not facing this wierd issue... The next arrows are gone, we can't advance through the list.

After digging a lot, we were able to resolve this issue and i would like share this resolution with all of u !!!!
--The page on which we can see all the created groups is called as "User Information List"
--or we can add that one as a User Information List web part.
--Every List has the option of "Modify this View" but for this list i.e. "User Information List", this view is hidden (by default).. Microsoft hide this view from the consideration, just to avoid messing !! i can guess :-)
--When we will go inside that view then we have enable these following options:-

1. User Information List.
2. Click Edit > Modify this view
3. Count section
4. Make sure the Item Limit is set to 100 and Display items in batches of the specified size is checked.

Now the question arises as How to go inside that list ?? Dont Worry, Please follow these steps:

-> That page is called as ViewEdit.aspx

->You need to pass the Guid for both the list and view to this page, like this:
->http://MOSS2007.com/_layouts/ViewEdit.aspx?List={00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}&View={00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}

-> You can get the Guid for the User Information List using the GetListCollection web method on /_vti_bin/Lists.asmx.

-> You can get the Guid for the View by passing the Guid for the list to the GetViewCollection web method on /_vti_bin/Views.asmx

I hope the above information will helps u to resolve this issue..Thanks !!

File Conversion in Process, Converter Failed To Save File

On some machines, when a user opens an Excel file from SharePoint and checks out for edit and -does not- use the local drafts folder, yousee a dialog with "File Conversion In Progress", then "ConverterFailed To Save File" message, but the file is checked out to the user and will not open in the Excel. It never opens the application and I'm returned to the document library. If I already have the application it doesn't generate the error.

The fix is to do the following:

- Open Word
- Click the Office button (Top-left in the window)
- Click Word Options
- Click Resources
- Click the Diagnose button
- Click through the wizard until it’s finished
- Close all browser windows

That’s fixed all of our issues…

I hope the above information will helps u to resolve the issue !! Thanks !!

Error: Library Not Registered

On our main Sharepoint page, we've got this drop-down-button in our main navigation that shows other sites and lets you click on them to access them. I believe it uses ActiveX controls. We've got one user (that we know of) who when she loads up the main page, that drop-down won't work for it...it just does nothing. At the bottom-left of the page, IE shows an "error on page." When I double click on it to get the error, it says the following:

Line: 1936
Char: 4
Error: Library not registered.
Code: 0
URL: (the url of the page)

The fix is to do the following:

- Open Word
- Click the Office button (Top-left in the window)
- Click Word Options
- Click Resources
- Click the Diagnose button
- Click through the wizard until it’s finished
- Close all browser windows

That’s fixed all of our issues…

If you are using Office-2003 then please follow the below mentioned steps:

-Word 2003
- Help
-detect and repair
- check discard my customized settings and restore default settings

I hope the above information will helps u to resolve the issue !! Thanks !!
