Technical help

Please note that King’s Baptist Church cannot take responsibility for any changes you make to your computer by downloading and installing third-party applications. The advice on this page is offered in good faith, and on the basis that you follow it at your own risk.

Sermons

The sermons are in a common standard, mp4, and are playable using a variety of players including the free Apple Quicktime player which can be installed here.

If they don’t play straight off the website having installed Quicktime, then right click the sermon, chose “save target as” and save the sermon to somewhere on the computer. Either doubleclicking the downloaded file, or right clicking it and choosing “open with” and “Quicktime” should do the trick.

Powerpoints, word documents, etc

Some people are finding that they cannot open documents downloaded from the website. This is because the church has standardised on Office 2007 which saves documents by default as .docx/.pptx/xlsx whereas older versions of Office save them as .doc/.ppt/.xls (OpenOffice 3.0 handles .docx files as standard).

There is a solution offered by Microsoft, which is to install the free compatibility pack to their older version of Office, it can be found here. This will work for Office 2000 and Office 2003. If you have an older version of Office then please email the church and we will do our best to provide a compatible document.
