Gmail Email Signature Installation Instructions

Part 1 - Copying Your Signature to Your Clipboard

Use the link provided in the email to open your signature in your browser.

Mac Users take Note: If you use Safari as your default browser during the installation the formatting will be goofed up. Copy the URL from Safari and paste it into another browser - Google Chrome or Firexox - and then use that browser to complete the installation.

In the tab with your signature, press Ctrl-A then Ctrl-C - this will select your entire signature and then copy it to your clipboard.

Note: Mac users will use Command-A and Command-C.
