[Kerry]

I am using Word 2003 and wish to include a signature when I am emailing a
document as an attachment from word. I have tried Tools - Options - General -
Email Options - and selected a signature from Outlook but it is not working.

Thanks

[Carol]

In Word 2003, WordMail and the regular Outlook editor share signatures. Each
signature that you create actually consists of three files - .htm, .rtf, and
..txt €“ stored in your Windows profile directory.

To create a new signature in Outlook:

Open Outlooks Tools|Options menu.
Select the Mail Format tab and then the Signatures button at the bottom of
the dialog.
Create one or more signatures, including a blank signature.
Click Ok to return to the Mail Format tab.
Select each account in your profile and assign a signature to it.

To create a new signature while working in Word or WordMail:

In Word or a WordMail message, choose Tools|Options.
Switch to the General tab, and click E-mail Options.
Create one or more signatures.
Select the signature you want to be inserted automatically.
Click OK until you return to your document or message.

If you have chosen to insert the signature automatically, but want to use a
different signature for the current message, right-click the signature. 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 use Outlook Express as my mail client, but I frequently send files as
attachments from within Word. When I do, Word pops up an OE message but
without the default signature I use in OE. I have created a signature in
Outlook, but Word doesn't insert that, either. Is this a lost cause?

I don't use Outlook Express Suzanne so I can't factually answer your inquiry.
Have you ever created a signature in Word and tried to insert it when OE
pops up with the message for your attachment? It seems like it should work
the same way, but like I said, I can't swear to it.

I can insert a signature manually, as the message UI in Word is the same as
in OE, so the menu includes Insert | Signature; the signature just doesn't
appear automatically the way it does when I create a new message in OE.

That's about it I suppose! I wish I had a better answer to give, but sadly,
I do not.
