I guess Entourage 2004 doesn¹t have full HTML support for signatures
(specifically, tables)?

Hi Scott,
Why would you guess that ???

I tried pasting an HTML table in a signature I was creating, and it didn¹t
come across (with tables).

You¹re correct. Tables are considered complex HTML, in that Entourage¹s
HTML creation doesn¹t support it. The only way to send HTML tables via
Entourage is to create the e-mail message with the table in Word and then go
to File -> Send to -> Mail Recipient (as Attachment). But that¹s not
practical for a signature.
If you would like to see the ability to create tables and other more
advanced HTML elements in Entourage¹s HTML composition engine, please be
sure to send your feedback to Microsoft. In Entourage X or 2004, go to Help
-> Send Feedback on Entourage. Otherwise, click on this direct link to

But actually, it can now be done in Office 2004. Make this signature with
tables, as you'd like it, in Word 2004, and save it as a template (or
stationery). If you want to use it, open it from the project Gallery, or a
copy from within Word's File/Open, or double-click if saved as stationery,
and write your whole message above the signature (under any "letterhead" too
if you like) in Word. When ready to send, go to File/ Send to Mail Recipient
(as HTML), and voilà! A complex HTML message sent from Entourage. You'd have
to get used to making messages in Word rather than in Entourage, but you
could make a button and keyboard shortcut for opening a new document from
this template to make it pretty easy.

Related to this, can you set up Entourage 2004 to automatically insert
a signature, instead of having to do it on each message?

Can't you set a default signature for each account via Tools | accounts,
Edit, Options? Certainly can in 2001, can't imagine they removed the
ability for X.
Or are you asking something I'm not understanding?

Yes. As in all previous versions of Entourage, go to
Tools/Accounts/Mail/[any account]/Edit/Options/Default Signature
and select the one you want in the popup. For Exchange accounts in 2004 the
Default Signature popup is in the Mail tab of the account.

Cool workaround. I¹ll have to give it a try.

Paul Berkowitz¹s solution works pretty well. The only anomaly I¹ve noticed
is that all the text is formatted with one font in Word (in this case,
Myriad Pro), but when I do a ³Send as HTM² and Entourage pops up, some of
the signature comes formatted in Myriad, and some in Helvetica.
In any even...it is cool. It¹s kind of like a Mac version of using Word as
your Outlook editor that Windows users have had for a while. Nice
suggestion!
