Set up Signatures, Font & Size Programmatically
 

Hi.
Having some basic programming skills (Mainly Excel) I need some help with a
new project my boss has put me on.
20 of our staff need to have their laptops configured with Signatures, Font
and size set up so that they are all in uniform.
I have managed to do the Setup of Signatures so that a word document can be
saved into the Signatures Folder (as an HTML document) ready for importing
into outlook. The problem I now have is, I need code to then draw the HTML
doc into Outlook, set up the Font and Size.
I tried simple macro recording with no success.
Can anyone help or at least set me up.
Many thanks
John

Set up Signatures, Font & Size Programmatically
 

There is no macro recorder in Outlook.

All you can do is set up the formatting using correct HTML syntax and save
the signature file. You also need to create equivalent files for plain text
and Rich Text formats. The appropriate signature will be loaded based on the
email format.

As an alternative to what Ken suggests, you can use Word objects to set up the signature. See http://groups.google.com/group/micro...c02df6e6bd3912
