Thanks for that. If that's the easiest way I dread to think what the
difficult way is. Sorry it's way too complicated for me. I won't bother.

Hi Nina,

Don't despair! If you wish you can scan your signature, send it to me
(E-Mail, not NG) and I'll prepare the .htm file which you can then use as
your signature.

Nina,
There is no reason to send Andy your signature.
Andy doesn't know where on your hard drive the signature jpg is stored.
The signature jpg is not inserted into the email, just the location.

If you try to Save As in Notepad and don't put the file name in quotes, you
must change the file type to All Files.
If you don't change the file type, your htm file will be .htm.txt .

Andy's instructions should have included this:
Then save the file and give it an htm file extension. Change the file types
to All Files.

Or
Then save the file. Locate the file and change the .txt file extension to
..htm .

Hi Ron,

I don't quite follow your statements.

I don't have to know where on Nina's HD her scanned signature .jpg is
stored. Nina knows. When she right-clicks it and chooses "Send to Mail
Recipient", I will receive the .jpg as an attachment. It will not be "just
the location". I will store this .jpg on my HD and use it to produce the
..htm file.

I find that there is no need to put the file name in quotes or change the
File Type to All Files. (I've just checked and double checked this
procedure.)

: If you don't change the file type, your htm file will be .htm.txt .

My .htm file does not turn out to be .htm.txt

: Andy's instructions should have included this:
: Then save the file and give it an htm file extension.

My instructions included exactly that. (" Then save the file and give it an
htm file extension." )

You are going to produce a htm with this code:
HTML
BODY
IMG src="file://c:\myimages\myimage.jpg"
/BODY
/HTML

It is going to point to the location of the myimage.jpg on your computer.
The location is not going to be the same on Nina's computer.
How is that going to help?

In My Computer or Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View tab, is
'Hide file extensions of known types' checked?
If it is, then you are not going to see the txt file extension.
If you double click on your .htm file, does it open in Notepad?
Txt files will open in Notepad. Htm will open in your browser.

The default is for file extensions of known types to be hidden.
This is why you have to put the name in quotes or change the file type when
saving in Notepad.

It used to be that a period was not a valid file name character, so you
couldn't have .htm.txt .
When the long file name cabability was added, the period was added as a
valid character.

No offense, but
Nina did not post using her email address.
If she emails you, she will not be able to hide her address.

Hi Ron.

Thanks for straightening me out on this one.
You said:

: You are going to produce a htm with this code:

: HTML
: BODY
: IMG src="file://c:\myimages\myimage.jpg"
: /BODY
: /HTML
:
: It is going to point to the location of the myimage.jpg on your computer.

I see now that it is not going to help at all........ :-(

: In My Computer or Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View tab, is
: 'Hide file extensions of known types' checked?
: If it is, then you are not going to see the txt file extension.

It is *not* checked, and I do see the .txt extension in the File Name box
when I Save As from NotePad. I delete .txt, *then* type in the name of the
sig file and give it the .htm extension. That's all. It works.

: If you double click on your .htm file, does it open in Notepad?
: Txt files will open in Notepad. Htm will open in your browser.

My .htm file opens in the browser. (I always make that check before
proceeding.)

: No offense, but
: Nina did not post using her email address.
: If she emails you, she will not be able to hide her address.

I trust that *no one* took offence at my suggesting that Nina E-Mail me the
graphic........especially Nina. Such a request is not unknown in NG's where
plain text is required and Attachments are frowned upon.

Andy,
You are correct.
Notepad will save a htm file without adding a txt extension.
Htm files are actually text files.
