I followed the microsoft help to make a signature but 'Signature' is not
available on the 'Insert' menu.
How can I enable it?
Thanks,
Johnny
 
If Word is your e-mail editor and you want to add a signature to only one
message, you can manually insert it.

In the e-mail message, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the
General tab.
Click E-mail Options, and then click the E-mail Signature tab.
In the Type the title of your e-mail signature or choose from the list box,
click the name of the e-mail signature you want to use. Under Create your
e-mail signature, select the signature text you want to add to your e-mail
message, and then press CTRL+C.
Click Close, and then click Cancel.
In the e-mail message, place your cursor where you want the signature to
appear, and then press CTRL+V.
Note The signature will not automatically appear in all new e-mail messages.
 
Please re-read my question and understand why your response is no help
whatsoever. How do I enable the Signature option on the Insert menu (it
doesn't exist on that menu and it should)?
Thank you.
 
To enable a signature in Wordmail, you will need to set one in Outlook as
the mail editor. Select Tools->options->mail format - set your editor to
Outlook, not Word. Go to the bottom of that same dialog box and select the
signature option. Set up a signature there, any signature will do. You
might want to set up all of your signatures at once to save time. Set one
as the default.

Go up to the option for the editor and change it to Word. Start a new mail
message and your signature will appear. If you have set up several, you can
right click on the signature and select from the list displayed.

I've gone Tools..Options...Mail format
but I'm not offered Outlook as editor choice (I presume it's default)
I've unchecked both boxes marked "Word as editor for replies & for reading"
done Signature
checked Word as editor
but signature doesn't come up as option in messages
 
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, 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.
