Applying a standard font AND a standard stationary

[Anton]

Both apart is quite straightforwad. Go to Options and select which you
desire. But I am NOT able to achieve both.

Tried two approaches:

First I made a BMP-file with my signature and logo and used the stationary
wizard to put that on left bottom of my messages. In the wizard I can also
change the font and size. Easily done. But ... when I compose a mail the
bitmap doesn't go down with the text which makes this approach quite useless.

Secondly I made a HTM-document with Word and again placed my signature and
logo on the bottom. In Mail itself I tell to use font Calibri 12. The
HTML-text scrolls nicely down when I compose a mail but it KEEPS typing in
dull times New Roman 12.

The 2nd approach is closest to what I desire apart from the font.

Maybe there is a 3rd approach which I haven't found. Maybe there is a simple
solution.

Anyway ... seems I can use a bit of help here.

You don't want to use a bmp. A bmp is 20 X larger than a jpg and generates
a huge amount of wasted size that way.

Second, you might want to learn some HTML programming to understand how to
do what you are trying to do. I don't know what KEEPS typing. As far as I
know, only the person typing is what keeps typing and not anything else in
the message, unless you have an animation running. You might try setting
the font using the Formatting toolbar to type in that font and set the font
in the signature in Word (if you have to use Word for it) to that font as
well.

Maybe I should've tried a JPG in stead of a bitmap and maybe I will try
that. But that was not my problem. All I want is to write my email with a
font of my choice and signed with my name and a picture at the bottom.

If I have to use HTML for it I can. I have just enough knowledge for it to
do some simple things as changing a font and including a picture. Do you
suggest that this indeed would solve my problem? Then where sould I use
that? In the signature in Options?

Anton - I think we're just not understanding some of the description you've
used in your posting . . . . .

1 - What do you mean by, "when I compose a mail the bitmap doesn't go down
with the text" - what does 'goes down' mean ???

2 - And this whole sentence is unclear exactly, "The HTML-text scrolls
nicely down when I compose a mail but it KEEPS typing in dull times New
Roman 12." - What do you mean the HTML text 'scrolls down nicely' . . . but
it 'keeps typing' in dull TNR-12 ??? I you are composing, typing the body
of your message, and you are using the desired Calibri 12 font (working
nicely) what is scrolling and continuing to type in TNR-12?

Your signature file is presumably fine, as you designed it in Word, and is
just an inserted file (or however you're putting it in there - copy /
paste).

So what exactly are you talking about in those other two things I pointed
out.

Thanks VistaRookie,

You solved my whole problem. I now have a signature PLUS the body text of my
mail starts in the font and size of my desire.
