I've seen similar to below when someone embeds a picture in an MS-Word 
or PowerPoint document. I'm not sure how it happens, but sometimes when 
they drag the picture in from a web page, it gets hotlinked to the URL, 
so when someone opens the document, MS-Office fetches the image instead 
of having a static copy of it.
