Adding a signature

R

Richard Cobley

If Outlook is the email editor for email messages from Outlook, then it's
easy to leave the signature off, and manually insert it in an email when
required.

However, my Outlook defaults to using Word as the editor for emails sent
from within Outlook, which I'm mostly happy with - you have more editing
options. However, there appears to be no way to manually insert a
signature. You either have it always off or always on. How can this be?

Please help - I used this feature in Outlook Express a lot and am lost
without it.

Richard.

You can workaround this by creating an empty signature which just holds some
spaces or a single dot.

WordMail does not include an Insert | Signature command like the regular
Outlook editor. If you want to be able to insert a signature into a WordMail
message manually, you can create an AutoText entry for each signature. You
can then insert them with the Insert | AutoText command.

Or, create multiple signatures the normal way (Tools | Options | Mail
Format) and make one the default. If you want to use a different signature
for the current message, right-click the signature that Outlook inserted
automatically. From the pop-up menu, select either the name of the signature
you want to use or E-mail Signature to create a new one. I personally prefer
this technique. This is also the technique you need to use if you want
Outlook 2003 to automatically change your signature when you switch accounts
on an unsent message.
