You've probably been using Outlook for over a decade and have long since forgotten what it was like to write an email without the ability to sign it. But if you want to change your signature, we're here to help!
Microsoft Outlook is a powerful tool for managing email, contacts, and calendar events. It's also a great way to share files and collaborate with colleagues. While the program does have its quirks, it's still one of the best email clients available today.
Outlook's signature is a short bit of text automatically added to the bottom of every email you send. It can help set up an image or logo and include your contact information.
In this guide, we'll cover how to change signature in Outlook and show you some tips for making it work.
1. In the upper-right corner of the Outlook window, click on the icon with gear and an envelope icon. This icon will be labeled "Options" if you're viewing your inbox or "Mail" if you're viewing an email message.
2. Click "Preferences" on this dropdown menu, then click "Signatures."
3. Click "Create New Signature," then type in your new signature text and click "OK."
4. Type your new signature in the box provided, or copy and paste from another document if you have one ready to go.
- Create a New Signature: This option allows you to create a new signature or edit an existing one. The default signature is "Sent from my iPhone." If you choose this option, you'll have to manually enter or modify all your information for each email you send out using this signature.
- Use an Existing Signature: This option allows you to use a previously created signature that contains all of your information from previous emails that were sent out using it. You can choose one that's already set up in another email account, or if there isn't one available there, then select "Create New." Then enter all your information into each field, so it appears correctly in each email as usual."
5. Click on "OK" when you finish editing your signature.
