What type of pictures did you put in them? sounds like you attached TIFFs vs. JPEGs? :confused:

Another issue with cross-platform compatibility is that images inserted into any Office application by using either cut and paste or drag and drop result in a file that does not display the inserted graphic when viewed on a Windows machine. Instead, the Windows user is told "QuickTime and a TIFF (LZW) decompressor are needed to see this picture". A user presented one solution as far back as December 2004. Taken from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_2008_for_Mac#Criticism) A solution can be found here (http://blog.pclark.net/2004/12/quicktime-and-tiff-lzw-decompressor.html)

Hope this helps.
