SUMMARY

This article describes how to use AutoText to create an automatic signature for electronic mail (e-mail) messages in WordMail.

MORE INFORMATION

To create a signature to use in your WordMail messages, do the following:

  1. In a new Word document (or in Exchange), type and format the text that you want to use for your signature. Note: Include a paragraph mark above the signature text.

  2. Select the text.

  3. On the Edit menu, click AutoText.

  4. In the Name box, type "signature" (without the quotation marks). Note: The AutoText entry must be called signature so that WordMail will automatically recognize it as a signature.

  5. Click Add.

The signature will be automatically added to the bottom of every mail message you create.

Word 7.0 and Word 97 include a component called WordMail that allows you to create new messages using most of the features in Word. If you are using either Exchange or Outlook as your e-mail client interface and have Word and the WordMail component installed on your computer, you can use WordMail as your e-mail editor.
