Here is my analysis regarding the same:

    1) Check the site settings page is opening or not.

   How to check that? - Site URL/_layouts/settings.aspx

   2) If you are using any specialized master page in your environment then make sure it is properly selected under the master page galleries

How to check that? – Site actions-site settings-Under look and feel-master page galleries

   3) Check the default.aspx page is existing or not

How to check that?

-Open your site, it’s quite obvious that you will get error message

-Be on that same page

-Control + O (from your keyboard)

-This will open the shared view of your site

-if you see the default.aspx page their then go ahead and take the backup of that page in the same location

-It wills create-default1.aspx—this is fine and we are on right track

-In this same shared location, you can see the created subsites i.e. the child sites which are created underneath

-Go to any of the subsite by means of shared drive and copy the default.aspx and paste it at the root location

-Try t browse the site and check the results

-Your site is up and running without any issuesJ

If you have any queries/questions then please let me know.

4) This is not PPTX/any 2007 document so thats why i haven't checked this(Link to Microsoft 2010 Filter Packs): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5cd4dcd7-d3e6-4970-875e-aba93459fbee&displaylang=en

5) The document does not consist of any embedded links as per this reference:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/russmax/archive/2010/11/11/sharepoint-2007-search-trying-to-crawl-office-documents-that-contain-embedded-links.aspx

6) Resetting the crawl index and run a full crawl is not a feasible solution as we cannot do this in production environment.

7) As per this link: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010general/thread/2906b07f-291d-4ac0-8b3f-d47166cb309d/
We cannot disable the search service and reset & configure everything

The only thing that we can try at this moment is: convert the document to .XLSX and do incremental crawl and check the results

This web site does not support workflows created by SharePoint Designer

Workflows help people to collaborate on documents and to manage project tasks by implementing business processes on documents and items in a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 site. Workflows help organizations to adhere to consistent business processes, and they also improve organizational efficiency and productivity by managing the tasks and steps involved in business processes. This enables the people who perform these tasks to concentrate on performing the work rather than managing the workflow.

Would like to share some resolution details for the workflow issue that I had resolved recently. here are the details:

Error Message: This web site does not support workflows created by SharePoint Designer

Cause: You do not have the permissions necessary to create workflows.

Resolution:

1) In Office SharePoint Designer 2007, in the Folder List, right-click the Workflows library, and then click Properties.

2) Click the Security tab.

3) Click Manage permissions using the browser.

4) In the browser, on the Permissions: Workflows page, click New, and then click Add Users.

5) Add the user to the list.

If you have any queries/questions regarding the mentioned information then please let me know.

Unknown Error Trying To Lock File

Office integration with the SharePoint is the most important achievement as it I the most commonly used product in day to day business activities. Every OS has its own advantages and disadvantages while working with some applications or with some products but we need to understand that if any application is not working just because of machine change/OS change then the problem is not with that application but machine compatibility itself and we need to find what exactly it is lacking and what will be perfect resolution for that??

Problem Description:

Facing problems while editing office documents on windows vista OS

Configuration:

+OS-Windows Vista

+Office 2007

+IE 7.0

Action that needs to be taken when user will be available:

Did research and founds out that although SP1 fixes the issue, registry settings are required to make it work. More info on the KB Article below

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943280/en-us

Registry changes in case if we don't suggest windows Vista SP-1:

1)   Locate and then click the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters

2)   On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.

3)   Type AuthForwardServerList, and then press ENTER.

4)   On the Edit menu, click Modify.

5)   In the Value date box, type the URL of the server that hosts the Web share, and then click OK.

Note:- You can also type a list of URLs in the Value date box. For more information, see the "Sample URL list" section in this article.

Exit Registry Editor.

FYI- this is a known issue with windows vista OS and we have a Microsoft KB for this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841215

Before we can go ahead and concludes on to above mentioned KB, make sure to check the following points:

1)    Web client service should be started

2)    You can also get the error if the URL to the document library is 100 characters long
