I always suggest uninstalling a prior version before a new version.
However, always back up your data for safekeeping. The new SBE Office
should reuse your settings but you can never be too careful.

|| Uncheck using Word, install your signatures, make one the default,

|| Word as the editor. Then when composing a new mail and your
|| signature appears, you can right click the signature and select any
|| of your defined signatures.

||||| Actually I bought the Small Business version for my laptop, where

||||| Business version of Outlook I can click on INSERT - SIGNATURE, and
||||| all the signatures I have stored cup up for choice (I use about 8
||||| different signatures in my business). With Office Basic, when I
||||| click on INSERT, there is no line for SIGNATURE, except the AUTO
