SUMMARY
This article explains how to use the AutoSignature feature in Microsoft
Outlook 97 and how it differs from the AutoSignature feature in Microsoft
Exchange client.
MORE INFORMATION
In Microsoft Outlook 97, the AutoSignature feature works differently than
it does in Microsoft Exchange Client in the following ways:
- When you install Outlook over Exchange Client, the AutoSignature is not
converted.
- You can define only one true AutoSignature and it cannot contain
graphics unless Word is used as your e-mail editor.
- Whether WordMail is used or not, you can mimic multiple AutoSignatures
by using templates.
To create an AutoSignature in Outlook, you can use one of the following
three procedures.
To create an AutoSignature when not using Microsoft Word as your e-mail
editor:
- Click the Inbox.
- On the Tools menu, click AutoSignature.
- In the input box, type the text you want to include in the signature
information. You cannot insert graphics into an AutoSignature in this
mode.
- Click OK.
To create an AutoSignature using Microsoft Word as the e-mail editor:
- Open a new mail message.
- Enter the signature, as you want it to appear. You can also insert
graphics in this mode.
- Select the signature you entered.
- Click AutoSignature on the Tools menu.
- Close the e-mail message.
You can mimic multiple AutoSignatures by defining templates containing your
signatures.
To create templates for AutoSignatures:
- Open a new email message.
- Enter the signature as you want it to appear. You can insert graphics
in this mode.
- On the File menu, click Save As.
- In the Save As Type box, select Outlook Template.
- Type a name for your template in the File Name box.
- Click Save.
- Close the e-mail message.
NOTE: To use your AutoSignature templates, click Choose Template on the
Compose menu, and then double-click the template you want.
