W

WillPower

I have an error message saying that the Active X security settings prevent my
pictures from being displayed in my signatures?
I have reset all the security settings in outlook 2002 to default with no
success.
When i compose the signature in advanced edit i CAN see the logo but not
when it is in an email?
Anyone able to help????

What is in your signature? When you Advanced Editor (default HTML editor) is
Word and you insert some Word only functionality the ActiveX error indeed
can occur. Try recreating your signature with text only.

Thanks but the idea is to have a logo in the signature. I cannot do this when
i edit it in text only.

In general it should work correctly but installed Word add-ins modify the
normal.dot template which could cause the ActiveX effect when using Word as
an e-mail editor. If you don't have another HTML editor installed you can
create your own htm-file for the signature in Notepad as well.

This should work;

<html>
<body>
Insert a greeting,<br>
Your name<br>
<br>(empty rule)
Some more stuff you want to write<br>
<b>Maybe something bold?</b><br>
<a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com">clickable link</a><br>
<img src="subfolder of Signatures/yourlogo.jpg"><br>
<br>
<i>or retrieve your logo from your website</i><br>
<img src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/pictures/yourlogo.jpg>
</body>
</html>

The code provided should work. Where do you get stuck?

Reinstalling won't help as it is not an installation issue but a
configuration issue.
