Where is "Advanced Edit" located? I don't see it in 2003 or 2007.

My guess is "Advanced" means you are able to insert HTML codes manually,
since GUI users don't usually deal with that, and a plain text editor is
what you would use.

In Outlook 2003, it's Tools>Options>Mail Format>Signatures>Edit>Advanced Edit.
I'm not at my OL 2007 system right now and I don't recall the path.

Ah, I see it now in 2003. Thanks. It's not in 2007 as far as I can see
(but I missed it in 2003 so anything is possible).

It appears I was right about the purpose of the button though.
