Ease of Use - Microsoft Outlook

If Word is your e-mail editor and you want to add a signature to only one message, you can manually insert it.

1. In the e-mail message, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the General tab.

2. Click E-mail Options, and then click the E-mail Signature tab.

3. In the Type the title of your e-mail signature or choose from the list box, click the name of the e-mail signature you want to use. Under Create your e-mail signature, select the signature text you want to add to your e-mail message, and then press CTRL+C.

4. Click Close, and then click Cancel.

5. In the e-mail message, place your cursor where you want the signature to appear, and then press CTRL+V.

Note The signature will not automatically appear in all new e-mail messages.


This is the help from using MS Outlook if you want to manually add a premade signature to an email. You just dig through 5 layers of menus or tabs to find the stored signature and then cut and paste it. Huh? Somewhere else in their help they say you can insert a signature by going to Tools/AutoText/Signatures in the menu system but of course this does not work. Ahhhhhhh. Thank god for the Mac.
