Was the error message literally about F:\%directory% ? If so then you used the wrong file name when you attempted to open the file. In MS Windows, % around a name indicates that a shell variable of that name was expected to exist and have its value substituted at that point. You need to be opening a .fig file . You might want to go in to Windows Explorer and ask it to reveal file extensions.
