ARCHIVED: In Microsoft Outlook for Windows, how do I create and use a signature?
Outlook 2010
- From the
Filemenu, clickOptions.
- On the left, click
Mail. Under "Compose Messages", clickSignatures....
- Click
New, and type a name that identifies this particular signature. ClickOK.
- In the text box under "Edit signature", compose your
signature.
Note: You can use the icons to format your text, but the formatting will work only with the Rich Text or HTML message composition settings. To make one of these your default message composition setting, see ARCHIVED: In Outlook, what message formats are available, and how can I change formats?
- To have Outlook automatically add your signature to outgoing
messages, under "Choose default signature", use the drop-down menus
next to "New Messages:" and "Replies/forwards:" to specify which
signature to use. (You can create different signatures for each if
you wish, or create additional signatures which you must select
manually for certain messages.)
- Click
OK, and thenOKagain.
