Auto Insert Signature

[davidgold]

A client of mine uses a law practice management system called prolaw. It
spawns new email messages to outlook 03 and addresses them according to the
client they are viewing, however when messages are created this way the
Signature does not appear (even though he has signatures turned on for both
new and reply messages). My client would like a way to programmaticly have
his signature inserted for EVERY email. Or at the very most 1-click or even 1
keyboard combo for doing this. The best I've been able to do for him is have
the Auto-Text button placed on a toolbar but even with this it's several
clicks to get to the signature. Any ideas? Code snippets?

If you're using WordMail, the AutoText method is probably you're easiest solution to this scenario. You did know that you can name AutoText items with a short set of characters (e.g. mysig) and then type that and accept the autotext hint when it appears?

You can also use Word's macro recorder to write yourself a macro that you can run when Word is the editor (as it is if you have AutoText) to insert signature text.
