can you use signatures while emailing from MSWord

[Guest]

I have a user who is trying to email from MSWord. At first she got the error
"Operation Failed". I checked the "Use Microsoft Word to edit email
messages" check bow in the message format section of Options. Now she can
email from Word, but it omits her signature. Is there any way around this?

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.
