Outlook 2003 Signature

I have started using email signatures occasionally at home. At the office I have Outlook 2003 and I just got the same version at home. I have an icon at the top of a new mail message seven from the left title “Signature” at work. I use this very regularly because I don’t want a 20-page signature with every email I send. So I choose the “formal” signature for appropriate emails. At home, however, no such icon existed and no menu or pulldown or whatever. When I tried help it returned the suggestion to open up the email signature editing box, copy then paste the desired signature into the email. This didn’t sound right. So after some snooping I realized the difference was that at home I chose to have Word be my email editor. After changing this allow Outlook to create the emails, the icon appeared right where it should. I realize Word offers some nice “idiot proofing”, but I’ll just check my emails a bit more carefully now.


Good evening
