Signature with JPG - Tried forum directions

G

Guest

I have searched this forum on setting up a signature in Windows Mail and
followed directions regarding creating & saving a file as html in a word
processor. Some peice of the puzzle must be missing. I have tried numerous
times and in various word processors (Notepad, Wordpad, Microsoft Office
Word) to no avail. I pasted the html coding as Steve mentioned in earlier
posts (inserting my correst path to my pic file). Nothing works. The one
glaring thing I see is that when I go to save the file in Notepad or Wordpad,
in the file window it defaults to TEXT documents. There is no option to save
as html. In Microsoft Office Word there are more options to save as, but they
are by catagories, not listing file extensions. I have Word Doc options and
two web page options. I've tried saving as both webpage options but still
nothing works. Also I have kept the size of my jpg to 3.8K so its not the
size that should be causing the hangup.


Thanks for your time.

Copy and paste the code into Notepad.
Locate the jpg or gif file that you want to use and replace
c:\myimages\myimage.jpg
with your jpg file location.
Save As signature.html
If you add the .html, the file will save as a html file.
Do worry about the saving type being a text file.
Do you show file extensions in Windows Explorer?

The html file has to be under 4 kb, not the picture file.
A Word html file will be larger than 4kb.

Clicking on the html file will make it open in your browser.

You have to go under Tools in Windows Mail and select your html file for
your signature.

Ron, thank you! I can now see the text and image as a sig in my WinMail
email. The only thing is that my name and address are not on separate lines
as I typed it into Notepad. Its one long sentence and then the jpg. Should be
a simple html fix. Please advise. Thank you again!

You can compose a signature with WinMail and Notepad.
Create your signature in an WinMail mail composition window.
Add your text and insert your jpg.
View, check Source Edit.
Click on the Source tab.
Highlight and copy the source code.
Paste the code into Notepad.
Save As "signature.htm". Change signature to your chose of a name.
Use signature.htm for your signature file.

Even more simply a line break can be introduced with at <BR> tag.

Here is one line

Ron, thank you! Your very well explained html coding got the text and picture
to show up.

A couple other favors if you please;
1) would you know the html code to set the font *just for my name* to be
bold and the rest of the address standard?
2) html code to make a space between the address and my jpg

Also, I tried the your other suggestion to compose a signature with WinMail
and Notepad. Wow! That's really great how you can click in --> View, Source
and Edit. Only once again I hit a snag. For some reason Notepad will not let
me paste the code as it appears in the WinMail Source (html) code. It is a
shorter incomplete string of HTML. I tried saving it anyway to see what
happens and I get a lot of "par" listed all throughout. Starts out looking
like what you see below. Plus 'par" is listed after every line of my address.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Once again thank you for your time and help and especially patience for
those of learning the ropes!

Sincerely,
Malinda
