multiple signatures

[Paul]

hi,

In outlook 2000 I used to have it setup so there was no default signature
but instead at the end of my email I would type the name of the signature
(internal, external) and I would be prompted to insert the appropriate
signature. Now I have upgraded to outlook 2003 I do not seem to get the same
effect. I can now only set one signature and have lost the option to choose
which signature I would like to apply to my emails.

Anyone know of how to do this in 2003?

The feature you were using in Outlook 2000 was Word's AutoText, which is still available to you, assuming you have Word 2003 installed.

Or, create multiple signatures the normal way (Tools | Options | Mail Format) and make one the default. If you want to use a different signature for the current message, right-click the signature that Outlook inserted automatically. From the pop-up menu, select either the name of the signature you want to use or E-mail Signature to create a new one. I personally prefer this technique. This is also the technique you need to use if you want Outlook 2003 to automatically change your signature when you switch accounts on an unsent message.
