Signature Files

Hi,

I am using several Outlook signature files as a source for standardizing
common paragraphs for emailing. I simply then insert the appropriate
signature file(s) needed for each email.

How can I save/backup the signature files?

Each signature is stored as three files (a txt, an rtf and an htm file) under c:\document and settings\profilename\application data\ms\signatures\ These are the files you want to back up.

KePaHa -- I could not navigate that pathname...I am using XP-Pro...does that
make a difference?

I seem not to be able to follow the pathname you suggest...is this for
Windows XP?

I'd suggest searching c: drive for files named like your signature (i.e.
search for *worksig* if your signature is named WorkSig).

I have the same need to backup signatures. I'm using Outlook 2002
with XP and I can't find the signatures folder. I don't have
c:\document and settings\profilename. Any advice?

If you use the Outlook editor to compose your messages, the signatures
should be in %AppData%\Microsoft\Signatures. And it you are using Windows
XP, you most certainly DO have that folder. Just enter the path I typed
into Windows Explorer or the Open field of Start>Run.
