how do I add a signature to some emails, but not others in Outlook

I am using Outlook 2003. I often start to compose a new mail message and
then want to add one of my signatures to the body of the message. However,
when I go to Insert / AutoText / Signatures, there is nothing there to select
from (even though I have multiple signatures set up). I'm confused because
in Outlook 2000, I could just go to Insert / Signatures, and it listed them
out. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Outlook 2003 does not store signatures in AutoText. 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.

First, do not use Word as your email editor. Signatures are not under Auto
Text. You must set them up in Outlook --Tools, Options, Mail Format,
Signatures. Then you choose Insert > Signature. If you want to select from a
list, set up "None" as the default signature.
