That last bit is obviously wrong, and should probably be fixed in the
Registry.

At a Wild Random Guess™ perhaps it's set to call the images by
reference, rather than embedding them. So on your own machine, the
images are where they are specified, but no-one else has them on their
machines, so the links fail. A bit like using local filenames for images
in a HTML document: they work on the author's machine but nowhere else.

Is there a setting for image location, or "embed images" or something
that might fix this?
