Setting Your Default Signature In Outlook

Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007

  • from your inbox, click TOOLS at the top
  • pull down to OPTIONS
  • click the MAIL FORMAT tab
  • click the SIGNATURES button
  • click NEW (and give your signature a name)
  • TYPE the following text exactly as shown:
  • set this new signature as your default signature for new messages and for replies & forwards.
  • you will see “/e/signature/” when composing messages, but your full email signature will be substituted in place when you send your message

Note: It may take a few hours before the substitution begins working properly. For the first few hours you may find that a generic signature for your company is being substituted in for you. Please be patient, your Exchange Server updates the signatures at least once a day, and possibly more frequently.
