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 Insert 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 automatically recognizes it as a signature.
  5. Click Add.
The signature is 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.
