Adding Signature Manually

[Guest]

I am running Outlook 2003 connected to an Exchange server. I also have two
signatures that I use on e-ails, but i do not add a signature on internal
emails.

I do not want to automatically add signatures to every email, but manually
add to specific emails.

According to MS Office Outlook Help, I should be able to Manually insert a
signature in an individual message using Outlook as my email editor by
opening a new massgae, select Insert\Signature, and select the signature I
want.

However, in Insert, there is not a Signature option! So am I missing
something or can can someone help me out here??!!

Thanks!

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.

Do you use word as the editor? Your options depend on the editor and that is
an outlook editor option.

Why not create a blank sig as your default sig then swap it out when you
send to external addresses?

You two hit it right on the head--thanks so much. My client was set to Word
as the default editor. When that is turned off, signature selection is
there. I also got the Autotext working too. I can give both options to
users and let them decide!!

Thanks again!
