INTRODUCTION

If you frequently sign your messages using not only your name, but also additional information such as your job title and contact information, you'll appreciate Outlook's Signature feature. When enabled, it appends text of your choosing to the end of every message you create and/or reply to.

TIP

Using a Template

If you like, you can use a predesigned template for your signature. To do so, click the Use This File as a Template option button in the Create New Signature dialog box (see step 5), and then click the Browse button. In the dialog box that appears, locate the file you want to use, click it to select it, and click Select.

Type your name as you want it to appear in your messages and click Next.

Type any additional text you want to include, such as your title, company, or contact information, and then click Finish.

A preview of your new signature appears in the Preview area of the Create Signature dialog box. If you are satisfied, click OK.

Your signature is selected as the default for new messages. Click OK to confirm the use of this signature.
