Signature with logo

[Jennifer]

I have a signature that needs to include a logo/graphic. I am wondering why
I am having an issue with the logo not displaying. The link (path) to the
logo is correct, however in the email a broken image box displays. When I
embed the logo instead of linking to it - the quality of the logo is
compromised. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hard to say without any configuration information and exact steps to
reproduce.
Always start with telling us your Outlook version.

I am using Outlook 2003.

I created an HTML file that included a <img src> tag to link to the image I
would like displayed in the signature.

Then I created a new signature and pointed it to the HTML file I created.
This appeared to work correctly at first but now my signature as a broken
image box displaying?

I just went through this. Try this.
Step 1 - Set your email to HTML
To do this, click on TOOLS, OPTIONS, MAIL FORMAT

Step 2:
Select HTML. Next make sure you deselect the “use MSOffice word 2003 to
edit e-mail messages†and the one below it. That will ensure that your
messages are sent in HTML only.

Step 3:

Now at the bottom of that same Mail Format window you will see your
signature area. Click on the ‘signatures’ button.



Step 4:

Click on the ‘new’ button.



Step 5:

Enter a name for your Signature and make sure you have the ‘start with blank
signature’ with a bullet in it. Then click the next button.



Step 6:

At this stage you can enter any text you would like as a permanent part of
the signature.Then click on the ‘ADVANCED EDIT’ button.


Step 7:

A popup window will ask for you next move. Click the yes button. At this
point, Microsoft Word should open.



Step 8:

Now you can click on INSERT, PICTURE, FROM FILE. Go to your Desktop to
locate the GIF file or link and double-click the file. ***Please note: It
will now appear on your page - not be animated.


Step 9:

Go to FILE and SAVE AS (The file will probably save in what is called a
"Signature" folder.)



Step 10:

In your toolbar along the bottom of your computer screen, click on
"OUTLOOK". The dialog box for Signatures should re-appear and you should see
the animated graphic in the preview box.


Step 11:

Click OK



Step 12:

In the "Signature for New Messages" box, click the drop down menu and select
your signature (or whatever the name of the file you designated).



Step 13:

Click APPLY and OK



Step 14:

Open up a new email message and, at this point, the animated graphic will
appear! You may need to click on it (only once to highlight it)
