HTML Signature

Paula Kern · Sep 23, 2005

I have created an HTML signautre for my client - but he uses PC at work and
Mac at home. I don't have a mac so I cannot find the location of where the
signature files are stored. Can someone tell me how to save the html file I
have created to the directory location so that when he goes to select his
signature it will appear in his list of available signaures?

Thanks so much!

Tools > Signatures. Then you can create a new signature which will be
added to the list.

What I need to do is use an existing html file. I don't want to re-create
it. There should be a directory location where all the signatures are
stored. But because I don't have a mac I can't find that location. In order
to find the location on my PC I created a new signature and then did a
search for that file name - now I am able to install html docs directly to
that location and not have to go through the creation process.

Does that make sense?

Hi Paula,

That makes sense, but unfortunately is not how signatures are done on the
Mac with Entourage. Entourage has all signatures in one file and it is not
in html format. This file is within the Microsoft User Data folder. A user
can¹t just add an html file to this location and have the signatures show up
though.

The best suggestion would be for the user to copy the signature and paste it
within the Signature window within Entourage using the instructions from
Metritype below.

Thanks,
Rebecca

Re: HTML SignatureThank you for your response - if I copy and paste the info will it still go out as an html doc? There are images and hot spots on the images as well as text hyperlinks. Basically will the messages be received properly with this kind of html code?

Thanks! PK

As long as there aren't <source image> links to a website the graphics etc
should copy fine. (In any case Entourage doesn't do that type of HTML). I
hope there are no tables Entourage doesn't do those either. For the text
hyperlinks, get my free script "Make Hyperlinks X" from

MacScripter.net <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/>

There are instructions for setting it up to work with "regular" hyperlinks
such as in signatures using its PREFS script see the ReadMe.

Re: HTML SignatureI can easily take away the tables. Just to clarify - I cannot have any spot on an image link to a web site? I have designed a business card that has tabs on the top - it is one image. The tabs link to different places on my clients web site. Can I have the images called from a web site or do they have to be embedded in the outgoing email?

Thanks so much!

If they are linked from a web site, most recipients will not be able to view
them. Entourage, in common with many current mail clients, blocks the
automatic download & display of non-local data by default as a security
measure.

I don¹t believe you can put attachments into a signature, but you can
Œpaste¹ images in place in the signature window, when you have turned on the
HTML formatting bar

Can you use Animated Gif Files in your signatures now with SP2 ?
