Signature Does Not Word Wrap Text Correctly

[Steve]

I’m having a problem with my Signature in Outlook 2007. It’s strange; the
signature does not word wrap the text correctly. In my case, the signature
consists of 7 lines. They are:

1. Name
2. Title
3. Company
4. Address
5. Address (City, State, Zip)
6. Phone Number
7. Email Address

In the Signatures and Stationery setup; the signature is displayed correct.
When I create a new email message, the signature appears and it’s correctly
display/word wrapped. However, when I send the message lines 3, 4 and 5 are
shown (combined) on the same line. The signature in the message looks like
this:

1. Name
2. Title
3. Company 4. Address 5. Address (City, State, Zip)
6. Phone Number
7. Email Address

I read someplace that I should try using the shift/enter key to set a hard
return, but that did not work. I get the same results. Any suggestions as
to why/how lines 3, 4 and 5 are getting combined onto a single line? I did
not do anything difference on the other lines (e.g., 1, 2, etc.); just
entered the name then used the enter/return key to start a new line.

By the way, all of our messages are composed in Plain Text format.

Hi Steve,
Signatures are stored as txt, html, and rtf and are at
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures

if it is html, then open in notepad and insert <br> at end of each line.
if it is rtf then open in word and use shift + Enter at end of each line and
save
hope this helps

regards,

KC,
Thanks for your recommendations. I edited all three files (i.e., txt, rtf,
and htm), as well as copying the signature block into Notepad and
“perfecting†in and then pasting it back into a new signature block.
However, I continue get the same results. Any additional suggestions?

KC,

I tried your suggestions, but they did not work...

However, I was playing around with the Signature Block; in line 3 I used
parenthesis ( ) in the company name. When I deleted the left and right
parenthesis, the signature block would display correctly on the sent email
message.

It’s strange that the parenthesis in line 3 would impact/cause line 3, 4 and
5 not to word wrap the text correctly.

I would like to use the parenthesis in line 3 (Company Name). Any ideals?

By the way, our messages are sent in plain text, so my signature block uses
the .txt file.
