Outlook 2002, with Office XP Professional siginature problem

[Mick Cant]

Hi all,
I have just upgraded from Microsoft Office 2000, to Microsoft Office
XP Professional 2002.
In Outlook, I was able to have several email signatures and choose from them
by
selecting the "insert" tab
I have set up a signature in Outlook, in Office 2002, but the same one
appears on the
new mail,
how can I set it so there is no signature until I select it from "insert"

Also is this is the correct group for Microsoft Outlook?

Thanks for any help,
Mick.

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.
