e mail signature format problems

[Ian 23]

I am using MS Outlook with Word as my e-mail editor and have an e-mail
signature set up. Sometimes my text is written close to that signature and
the signature format appears to "take over" such that I cannot use spellcheck
in that area, and when I right click to copy text into or out of that areaI
am unable to do so and a dialogue box simply appears showing my e-signature.
I have tried changing the format back to paragrpahs but that does not seem to
work. Any ideas anyione please?

Thanks in advance

Ian

Sounds like you navigate through the email while writing and added a blank
line by placing your cursor in front of the first word of your signature and
then press Enter. In that case you are typing in the signature area. You
have to be careful with this, because when you change your signature in the
message, you'll lose that text. This is also why you have only the signature
toggle context menu (right click) and not the standard context menu.

Yes that sounds like what I probably did. If I do that agin inadvertenly is
there nay way to recover back to the usual format, rather than remain in the
signature area please?

Select the text and use Ctrl-X to cut the text. Than paste it in the correct
location. You can than choose to keep the text only (no formatting).
