Insert Signature in Outlook 2003 With Word as Email Editor

[Guest]

When using WORD as the email editor in Outlook 2003, I want to add my custom
signature files on the fly to my email message, how can I do this?

When I turn off WORD as he email editor, I can use this function by clicking
on the INSERT toolbar menu option and selecting my custom signature file to
add to my email on the fly as needed.

Regards,

Tom.

The SIgnature button doesn't work?

If you are using Word as your email editor (aka WordMail), you will not have an Insert | Signature command like the regular Outlook editor. If you want to be able to insert a signature into a WordMail message manually, you can create an AutoText entry for each signature. You can then insert them with the Insert | AutoText command.

Or, create multiple signatures the normal way (Tools | Options | Mail Format) and make one the default. If you want to use a different signature for the current message, right-click the signature that Outlook inserted automatically. From the pop-up menu, select either the name of the signature you want to use or E-mail Signature to create a new one. I personally prefer this technique. This is also the technique you need to use if you want Outlook 2003 to automatically change your signature when you switch accounts on an unsent message.

Where do you find this button, in Word or Outlook? I haven't been able to
find the button you mention.

Oops. You did say you were using Word. Then you must define a default
signature for each account (even if it's a space) and you'll be able to
right-click on the signature area in the body and choose the one you need.
