This reminds me of a problem I've had with images in a PowerPoint presentation my wife prepared on her iBook. They worked fine for her but wouldn't open in PowerPoint on M$ and wouldn't open in OO.o Impress. I don't remember the details but learned them by googling. Turns out that Mac uses some proprietary method to save images taken from the Web (something from Adobe, I think) which Windows and Linux don't seem to support. The problem was solved by having her explicitly save the images to a different format (.jpg, I think).
