Multiple signatures in OL 2007
in [Outlook]

From: tryeager on 11 May 2010 00:41 In OL2003 and earlier, I used the signature function to insert short boiler plate text, and I could choose from several graphic logos for the top and several closing signatures for the bottom in any combination right from the signature function. I found this much better and more flexible than using stationary. In OL2007, messages except only one signature. When you insert another one, the existing one dissappears. Why, why, why did they change that and is there any way to around it? -- tryeager http://forums.slipstick.com

How are you attempting to change the signature? -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. ALWAYS post your Outlook version.

Might I suggest you use the Quickparts/AutoText feature instead. That would be inline with what you are actually doing and that is what it was designed for. tryeager wrote: > In OL2003 and earlier, I used the signature function to insert short > boiler plate text, and I could choose from several graphic logos for the > top and several closing signatures for the bottom in any combination > right from the signature function.
