Outlook: Word as editor should allow signature choices

[Guest]

When Word is selected as editor, you cannot insert a signature via the menus.
Yes I am aware of a variety of work-arounds, such as pasting or turning Word
off as the editor, but this is not the point.

In non-Word editing the menu item Insert / Signature ... is there -- it
should be there for Word too.

Thanks,

Yes, you can. One method is to 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 hi and thanks for the response and tips. I agree your second solution is
elegant. There is however a small wrinkle with it...

If for some reason there is no signature present to begin with, or the
default signature is deleted, the right click does not contain the relevant
options.
