manually add a signature to an message from the various signature.

[Guest]

After creating several signatures, I've tried manually adding a specific one
from the list to a message, but it doesn't work. I have to copy and paste the
signature. Help says it can be done, but after following the instructions, it
doesn't work.

What are you using for your mail editor and how are you trying to add it?
With Outlook as the editor, just click the Signatures button on the Standard
toolbar. For Word, I think it's Insert>Autotext>Signature, but since I
don't use Word for composing mail, I'm likely wrong. Google Groups can find
it for you, though.

WordMail does not include 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, in Outlook 2002 or 2003, 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.
