signature block has place holders

[Guest]

Help please..... I have posted this on the Outlook community as well, but no
response yet.....so I came to "Word" community.
I am using Outlook 2003 with Word as my email editor.
Have signatures but in the last three weeks, when I create a new email
my signature shows the place holders (not grey fields, but pink place
holders).
When I send, it is fine, the recipient does not see the place holders and
the signature displays fine. But the fact that the place holders are showing
in my "compose" new message is making me nuts. I even went through the
posted questions and tried going into control panel to make sure under
"internet" options
that Word is my html editor....but...FrontPage is my html editor in those
settings.
Please help.....I need to remove these nutty pink place holders before I go
batty.
Thank you all for any help you can give me,
Candice

If Word really is your editor, then go to Tools | Options | View and
check if picture placeholders is active (and then deselect it ).
