Switching signatures in a new message

[Guest]

This is really a repeat of an earlier question. But I have more info now so
I'm starting a new question for clarity sake.

I'm using Word 2003 as my email editor for Outlook 2003. When I create a new
message, word opens and the default signature appears in the message as it
should. I'm using a jpg image of a business card for the signature.

However, I can't switch to my other signature by right-clicking the
signature. When I right click, the drop down menu does not contain a
signature option- it has only the usual Word options of cut, copy, borders
and shading, etc.

Is there a Word options setting somewhere? Outlook seems to be configured
correctly. I'm only using one email account.

I've checked Microsoft's FAQ, but no luck. Any suggestions?

do you have any text in the sig? if not, try r-clicking just above it - if
that fails, add two dashes and a space and [enter] to the signature.

Thanks Diane, I'll give it a try

Diane, you're a genius!

The two dash approach worked, although this seems like some kind of
work-around. I edited each Signature so I can easily switch between wen I
need to. I notice that is I right-click more than 2 paragraph marks from the
Signature, the appropriate pop-up menu does not open. Strange!

Why doesn't Outlook or Word describe a method for switching signatures? Why
is such an odd procedure needed?

Thanks for your help

2 dashes is the common (I believe it's in an RFC) divider/indicator for
signatures - some mail clients use it to hide signatures or remove
signatures from replies. OE adds it for you, OL does not.
