replacing a signature with another

G

Guest

At home, I have an old version of Outlook Express which lets me insert a
signature and then change my mind and choose a different one. When I do
this, the old signature in the message is automatically replaced with my new
choice. At work, I use Outlook 2003 (using RTF as editor) and this merely
inserts a second signature if I do the same thing. Is there anyway to
recapture the Outlook Express way of doing it?

If using Word as the editor, simply right click and select another
signature.

Thanks for your prompt response Milly - they must have you working nights
over there or are you also in the UK?

Sadly my company's taken the decision not to use Word as the editor. Does
that mean I'm out of luck?

I've never seen Outlook Express do this. Whenever I press the Signature
button, OE simply appends another. Naturally, if I insert the wrong
signature, I can click Edit>Undo and erase the signature I just added and
then add the correct one.

Milly stated how with Word as the editor, but Edit>Undo (CTRL-Z) also works
in Outlook's editor.

Nah - just sick and can't sleep in California - nasty fever keeping me
awake, plus all the coughing makes it hard to fall asleep for any period of
time.

Only thing you can do with this situation is not use a default signature and
select Insert->Signature each time you want to sign your mail.

Stupid short-sighted management will always thwart industrious employees
with their "well, we decided it was best doing it this way so the argument
is closed." Tends to beat down the employees' imagination and then
management wonders why they have problems getting employees to pipe up with
new ideas! Bah!
