I have a problem with inserting a signature manually with Outlook 2002. This works fine with Outlook 2000. When I try to manually insert the signature the only choice it offers me is my network name and not my electronic signature. I am sure that the electronic signature is there and it inserts when set to auto but not when I try to manually insert.

What is the message that is at the bottom of emails that I receive called.... sometimes have a notification that the person is using virus protection or advertises yahoo... what is that called and how can I set something up like that?

A signature, as described in the article you just commented on.

I am experiencing the same thing that Judy Bush in the first response is. When I go to manually insert a signature the only thing that is available is my alias and not the signature. The signature is normal when in the auto mode.
Thanks,

Joking.... nice article
Very good

Hi,
I to am at a loss with this in 2003. As with other users, it comes up fine automatically... but I don't ALWAYS want it to come up if replying. I could manually insert in older versions of Outlook. (2000 I think)

The best I can do in 2003 is to go into options, open the signature file and cut and paste it into my message.

There has to be an easier way.
Can anyone help?

Is there a way to have Outlook insert stored information into a signature, for example the name you entered when you installed Office? I'm thinking of a department signature that everybody in the group would copy to their PC, and without individual modification it would insert their own name above the dept info.

Microsoft describes how to manually insert a signature to Outlook messages in http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HP052427531033.aspx
Unfortunately, when using Word as email editor, you don't seem to have access to the signature(s) you defined in Outlook. You can define them as AutoText in Word, but that means having 2 copies of you signatures - in a company that occasionally changes it's name and having multiple roles (and signatures!), this is not a really goos solution :-(

How do you get an icon or .gif to appear automatically with your signature?

I tried to print this article on email signatures, as I do with something that requires enough steps that I need the printout right in front of me so I don't skip something. However, in Print Preview only the title showed, no text. I've printed other instructions from other Ask Leo questions, no problem. I tried a Save As, got only the title. Would appreciate a little help, please. Thanks.
