Tech Tips - Email signatures

I have a client that was unaware of being able to add a “signature” to outgoing emails from Mozilla Thunderbird or MS Outlook/Express.
So, what is an email signature?
An e-mail signature consists of text or pictures, or both that can be automatically added to outgoing emails from within your email program of choice.
If you choose to create and use a signature, Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird will automatically add the signature to your outgoing e-mail messages.
Here are instructions for creating an email signature using MS-Word…
Start Microsoft Word and go to the Tools menu.
Click Options, and then click the General tab.
Click the E-mail Options button (lower right corner of the dialog box), and then click the E-mail Signature tab.
In the “Type the title of your e-mail signature or choose from the list box” field, type a name for your signature. Example: KW Signature
In the text box “Create your e-mail signature”, type the text or insert pictures etc., that you want to use for a signature. Use the formatting tools to apply formatting to your text.
Click Add.
Rinse and repeat as necessary.
You can add separate signatures for each email address you have.
An additional note:
If you have an image of your signature (jpg etc.) you can use that as part of your email signature.
Don’t know how to get an image of your signature? Here’s how:
If you have electronic faxing, sign a piece of paper and fax yourself. Then using paint (refer to my other tip about images), cut and size the image and save it.
If you have a scanner, sign a piece of paper and scan it. Repeat the image instructions above.
Good luck
