I am trying to set up Outlook Wordmail to manually insert a signature.
According to posts I've found here, you have to set this up as an Autotext
entry first. But when I am in Word and go to Instert/Autotext the NEW option
is grayed out and won't let me create one. Anyone know why?

Thank you.

Sorry, forgot to mention this is Office/Outlook 2003.
Click to expand...

Turn off Word as the editor. Click Tools>Options>Mail Format>Signatures.
Create your signatures. Click OK. Use the "Select signatures for account",
"Signature for new messages", and "Signature for replies and forwards"
drop-downs to define a default signature for EACH of your accounts. They
ALL must have a signature, even if it's a single space. It may be best to
ise a minimum of two hyphens, however, so that when Outlook displays the
signature, you can see it. Now reenable Word as the editor. The signature
should now change when you change accounts.
