   Product Tip of the Month

Signatures in Outlook


If you use email daily for business and still type your name and company information,

then this tip will be of great help to you. 


Known as a "Signature", you can add this information automatically to the end of all of your emails.  You can also have multiple signatures, such as one for replies and another for initial emails. 

You can also add a "business card" or graphics such as a company logo.

 

 

In this tip, we will learn how to: 1.  Setup a Signature for a "New" email.
2.  Setup a Signature for a "reply" email.


Our screenshots will be for Outlook 2007 however other versions are similar.
 
  
1. Open Outlook, select "Tools", then "Options".

  
2. Select the "Mail Format" tab, then find the section named "Signatures".  Click on the "Signatures" button.

  
3. Now select "New" and give this new signature a name that fits for yours.



  
4. Now enter the information that you would like to show.

The sky is the limit for what you can put here. Your also able to change the font, sizing and more.

Your Name
Your Company Name
Your Company Phone Number
Your Company Website
Your IM address

Limitless!

  

5. Want to add a image like your company logo? 

Click the image button, select your image then place it where you want it to show.





 

  
6. Repeat this if you want a secondary signature for replies.  Why?  You might not want as much information showing when doing replies.
 


If you only have one signature, this should automatically be done for you .

  
8.  That's it!  Click OK and your ready to test!

  
9. Start a new email and you will see your new signature. 

If you have a separate signature for replies/forwards then to test, open a current email and click on the reply button.  Your new reply signature will show.
  
10.  If you want to change your signature, simply delete what is showing in the present email you are in, select the "Insert" tab, then "Signature" button.

This will show what signatures you have setup.

Select the signature you want and it will be inserted into your email for use.

Last month we showed how to copy and paste using keyboard shortcuts.
CTRL + C = COPY
CTRL + V = PASTE
 
This month we introduce CTRL + X

CTRL + X = CUT

Anything you cut /paste using a mouse for, this shortcut key can do exactly the same function.  Select what you want to cut, press the CTRL key and hold, then press the X key then release.  Click where you want to paste, then press the CTRL key and hold, then press the V key.  That's all there is to it!  Common mistakes are not holdingsp; Click where you want to paste, then press the CTRL key and hold, then press the V key.  That's all there is to it!  Common mistakes are not holding the CTRL key while selecting the other key you want to use, and determining wether we want to COPY or CUT.  Cut "copies and removes" where Copy just "Copies and leaves in place".  If you CUT, it will not delete until a successful paste has occured.

This three shortcuts used in combination can save a bunch of mouse clicks, saving tons of time.
