Signature

I am trying to create a signature to go in all of my emails. I used the outlook help, but the "signature picker" button is not able, so I can't do it. Is there some way I can enable the signature picker?

If you are using Word as your e-mail editor then the signature picker in
Outlook will be greyed out. You will need to use the following steps to
create a signature in Word.
1. Open Outlook.
2. Open a new e-mail message.
3. Go to Tools -> Options.
4. On the General tab click the E-mail Options button on the bottom left.
5. Type in a name for the signature then setup the signature in the bottom
window.
This should do what you are trying accomplish.

I hope this information is helpful.

Note that these are the instructions for Office 2000, not later versions.

Actually this will work with Outlook 2003 which is where I was looking when
I typed up the instructions and I believe it is the same in Outlook 2000
and XP.

Cool! I hadn't notices that General | E-mail in Word 2003 picks up the same
info as Outlook's Tools | Options | Mail Format dialog.

In any case, it might be worth noting that there is a great deal of
different in where the signatures are stored. Outlook 2000 stores the
WordMail signature as an AutoText entry. In Outlook 2002 and 2003, both
editors use the same signatures, which are stored as separate files.
