inserting signature into email with toolbar icon

[Guest]

We have just upgraded to Outlook 2003. In the older version you could use an
Icon on the Toolbar to insert a signature into emails. (Thus avoiding
signature with all emails or have to do the longer manual insert.)
Anyone know how to do it now?

You need to add the Signatures button into the Toolbar.

Assuming you are not using Word as your editor ..
Open a new e-mail.
Right-Click over a toolbar and click Customize
Choose the Commands Tab
Select Insert from the Categories List.
Drag and drop Signatures from the Commands List to where you want it on the
toolbar.

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.
