e-mail signature with logo

G

Guest

Hi All,

I have tried to add my logo to my e-mail signature and when I start a new
message and insert the signature I get the text and my logo with a red X in a
box.

I'm getting the following message: the signature
"c:\documentsandsettings\lse-vas\applicationdata\microsoft\signatures\vaslogo.htm" could not be located. This signature may have been removed.

I have been told that this is a linking problem, but I don't know how to fix
it.

I've copied the jpeg file to the signature file, that doesn't help.

My html skills are minimal, so if anyone can help me out here I'd greatly
appreciate it.

Thanks,

Place the jpg-picture in the signature folder. Open the htm-file in Notepad
and find the img tag pointing to your jpg-picture. Adjust the scr= property
to src="picturename.jpg"

I have followed your instructions and unfortunately I still have a problem.

When I edited the signature, Word automatically places the jpeg logo in the
signature files under a seperate "Vas logo sign_files" and has placed two
versions of the logo and has changed the name to "image 001" from
"VAS_Logo_651". I'm not sure why it changed the name and added two version??

The code in notepad is:
<v:imagedata src="Vas%20logo%20sign_files/image001.jpg"
o:title="VAS_Logo_651"/>
</v:shape><![endif]--><![if !vml]><img width=110 height=135
src="Vas%20logo%20sign_files/image002.jpg"
v:shapes="_x0000_i1025"><![endif]><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
</td>

So when you say to find the image tag and adjust - this is where I get lost...

My other question, isn't word supposed to automatically ensure it's all
linked properly? I went through the tutorial for "fancy signatures" and
there was nothing mentioned in having to go in and manually change code. It
was as simple as 1 2 3.

You help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry to be a pain. Something this simple shouldn't be this frustrating.

It should work in 1, 2, 3 as well but troubleshooting and retracing steps
where things might have gone wrong is a whole other story. In addition Word
doesn't really do a great job at producing proper HTML code (Word 2007 does
BTW).

Instead of fixing this one you can try recreating it again or code it
manually. It doesn't have to be that hard really;

<html>
<body>
Insert a greeting,<br>
Your name<br>
<br>(empty rule)
Some more stuff you want to write<br>
<b>Maybe something bold?</b><br>
<a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com">clickable link</a><br>
<img src="subfolder of Signatures/yourlogo.jpg"><br>
<br>
<i>or retrieve your logo from your website</i><br>
<img src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/pictures/yourlogo.jpg>
</body>
</html>

More wishes? ;-)
