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).

(Do the images behave OK for you if you download them directly from the
site you mention above?)
