How can I turn off default hyperlink formatting in my signature?

[Karen P]

I've set up a signature (created in Word) in Outlook 2003. The lines with my
email address and web site are Arial 9 in Word and in my signature when I
look at it under Tools/Options/Mail Format/Signatures. "Format/Reveal
Formatting" also shows Arial 9. But, when I start a new email, the lines in
my signature appear as Times New Roman 9.

Those lines with my email address and web site got formatted automatically
as hyperlinks when I created the signature. Is the Times New Roman a default
font for hyperlinks? Is there some way I can turn it off? Our company
standard for the signature block is Arial 9.

Thanks for any insight you can offer--

I'm not sure what is default for hyperlinks, but you could edit the HTML
signature in notepad and change the font it uses. First, I would check the
font settings in IE's Internet options (Fonts button at the bottom of the
general tab) - older versions of outlook pick up data from it and TNR is the
default in it.
