Power Point Trouble

Many have had trouble downloading the Power Point files and
after researching the issue - the problem seems to be with
Internet Explorer 8's default settings which recognize files by
content - not by extension. I have been using PPT 2007 for the
last couple of years and have recently been using PPT 2010
Beta - and both saves files by compressing them - thus IE 8
recognizes them as "Zip Files" and will not open them - there
are a couple of ways around this -

1) Right click on the PPT icon on our site and select the "Save
Target As" option from the dialogue box - choose where on
your computer to download the file - after the file has
downloaded - you ought to be able to open it with PPT 2007 or
PPT 2007 viewer -

2) Reset your IE 8 settings - go to "tools" in the upper right
hand corner of IE - select "Internet Options" (should be the last
option in the dialogue box) - Select the "Security" tab - In
security settings, scroll down to "Open Files Based on Content,
Not File Extension" - select "DISABLE" -

3) OR - Download "Mozilla Firefox" and use it as your web
browser - you will have no trouble.

I have also been uploading PDF's of the PPT charts - great for
viewing but they are bigger - and have no functionality.

Also - I use a lot of different fonts in my presentations so you
may find some that you do not have, therefore they may not fit
correctly on the charts when you open them. I try to update
our site every Monday with the latest sermons - so please
check back regularly.
