Have you ever tried to open a file and had what appears to be hieroglyphics appear on your screen? You may know there is a picture in that file, but it just won\'t appear on your screen; you know you just typed a letter at the office last night, but it doesn\'t work when you display it at home. What you are experiencing is file incompatibility.
