Hi



This problem is driving me nuts, I am using Outlook 2003 and I'm having
trouble with the signatures.

I have 4 email account set up, I have created 4 different signatures under
options mail format, I have not set the new and replies default signature
as I don't want them to always be added.



Now I create a new email select the account I wish the email to be sent by,
write my email but I can't see anyway of adding my signature.



I would expect it to be under the "Insert" from the main email menu, but it's
not, I have tried to check under the ToolsCustomize and checked to see if
there is any reference to it, and there is not.



So either I am missing something or there is a bug that it not allowing me
to add a signatures when I want



Any ideas?

If you are using WORD as your editor, the signature will not work.

Check to see what formatting you are using - do you have Word as you email editor checked?

Word or Outlook Editor?

If word, Set up a blank sig (I use -- and [Enter]) and assign to all accts.
Right click on the sig to select an alternate one.

If you are using Word as your email editor (aka WordMail), you will not have 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.
