When sending an attachment from mac to PC they can not open the attachment?

Here's a quick guess as to why: PCs use the file extension to determine what kind of file a particular file is; Macs use information in the file itself.
So if you send, say, a Microsoft Word document named "MyDoc" on the Mac to a PC user, the PC user will probably have to rename it "MyDoc.doc" in order to be able to open it.
One of the stupider default settings for Windows is "Hide extensions for known file types". When setting up a new PC, this should be one of the very first things you change. It makes this kind of problem a lot easier to see, among other benefits.

How do you take pictures from Microsoft and put on a mac computer?
Take the picture from Microsoft and save it into a file. Open up your email and email it to yourself with an attachment of the picture. Open your email on a mac computer and you should have the email. Open the attachment and you should have the picture, right click it and press "Save Image" and put it into a file and then it is on your mac computer. If you want to move a large library of photos from a PC to a Mac, put the photos on something that will work on both PC and Mac. This can be a disk such as a CD or DVD if you can burn disks, or a flash drive or thumb drive if you can't burn disks. Copy the photos to the media, load the media into the Mac, and copy/paste the photos into the Mac.
