how do I add "insert signature" in outlook 2002?

[Guest]

I use Outlook 2002. When sending a new message, I do not have the option to
add a signature on the "insert" drop down. How can I add this option?

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.

Sue,

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to my question.
The problem that I am having is that I want to have 2 “signatures†in my
outgoing email. The first is below and it shows up as it is supposed to. The
second is actually a short stock paragraph that I use to ask people co
contact me. If I right click the signature, I can only have one or the other.

If I use the fix where I do not use the word editor, then I do
get the signature dropdowns and I am able to insert the second signature
above the standard signature, but then I loose the option to spell check. Is
there a way to add a short paragraph to the auto text area?

Do you have any suggestions?



Thank You,

The Help for Word has plenty of information on how to use AutoText, which will give you more flexibility to do what you want here.
