After a grueling month or two last year of working out with our Marketing
and Standards department about an HTML email signature template for
employees, I was able to come up with a nice template and proceddure for
updating user email signatures.
Now we will be moving to Outlook 2007, and I've installed it on my machine
and a few other IT personnel in order to familiarize myself with it. All is
well except for email signatures.
Our email signature contains an HTML link to a corporate logo. It has
tables in it for spacing of addresses, a corporate slogan, and a privacy
statement. Upon updating to 2007 my signature now shows the image as
squashed instead of the resolution of the graphic itself (I emailed it to
myself to ensure this wasn't just a viewing glitch while composing a
message).
I went into the Signatures editor and removed the signature, and was then
disheartened to find that 2007 no longer has the ability to add a signature
from an HTML template, which is how our users handle their signatures. I
usually edit a file in their home directory to update project information,
contact information or new certifications and then they remove their
signature and re-import it from their home directory. This is done to
ensure all signatures are formatted the same, as when they get in and start
monkeying around using the Outlook editor or Word, the MS Office formatting
combined with their own modifications screws up the spacing.
I found that I can go in and add the signature as a Theme by copying the
..htm file into the Stationery folder of a user's profile, but that overrides
my default document template, so I also need to re-setup font and formatting
information.
Is there something I'm missing, an easy way to add my signature again (and
others in the future)?
