Recently changed my signature - nothing fancy, just a font change. Now when
I try to write a new email, I get the message: "One or more ActiveX controls
could not be displayed because either:
1) Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on the
page, or
2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls."

What can I change to allow for ActveX controls in Outlook

Actually you really don't want ActiveX controls. What is in your signature?
Just text?
What editor did you use? Just the default one or the Advanced Editor?
In case of the last; what are you using as your Advanced Editor?

As far as I can tell, it's just text:
Lisa (using the font Lucida Handwriting)
Lisa Nicholson (using the font Verdana)
I created it using the default editor. There is a little dot above the
first line when I come into a new message. When I cut and paste the dot into
word, it shows up as a paragraph mark, but there is no extra line in the
signature.

I think that is your ActiveX control which has to be removed. When you
create a new mail without a default signature does that dot and the warning
still show up?

If I don't use the signature, the dot does not appear. I tried to create the
signature from scratch and as soon as I add a second line, the ActiveX
problem appears, regardless of the font I use.

Locate normal.dot and rename it to .old when Word and Outlook are closed.
Now try it again.

That is; create a new signature and see if the ActiveX issues maintains.
