Switch signature when switching accounts

[Bagheera]

I use a number of different accounts for sending email and, with Outlook
2003, by specifying the account I wished to use, the correct signature would
automatically appear.

I've just switched to 2007 and set up the accounts and the relevant
signatures to accompany them. However, if I create a new message then switch
accounts, it just deletes the existing signature but doesn't put in the
correct new one. Have I omitted a crucial step in setting these up or does
this functionality no longer work in 2007?

Many thanks.

Do you have a signature assigned to each account? That is a requirement -
create a blank sig (just two dashes so you can see where it begins) to
assign to accts, if necessary.

Yes, I set which signature I wish to use for each account in the Signatures
and Stationery dialog box.

When I switch accounts for sending mail, it obviously knows I don't want the
default signature, it just doesn't put in the one I do want any more.

Are you using word as your editor? that is necessary too.

I'm using Outlook 2007 and Help tells me that Word is the only email editor
available to me, so, yes, I guess I am.

Oops, I thought you were using 2003. It should work as long as you have a
sig assigned to each acct - the sig can't be (none)

Bother. I'll keep playing around with it and see if I can't be a little more
persuasive. Thanks for your help and input.
