Ever wonder how to get your very own email signature in outlook? Now you can by following the steps below. Having a signature in your email is the best way to represent your business or to look professional.
Creating A Email Signature
- Open Outlook.
- Goto the “File” tab on the top left window.
- Click on “Options”.
- On the left navigation menu, select “Mail”.
- Look for the line that says “Create or modify signatures for messages”. Click the button that says “Signatures”.
- Click the button “New” and enter any name.
- In the “Edit signature” field, enter your text. Signatures can include anything from name, address, website link, social media links, etc.
- To add a photo (logo, picture, icon, etc.), click on the small image icon (right next to Business Card). Search for a jpg or gif in your computer.
- To scale your photo, click on it and drag one of the corner edges.
- Where it says “Choose default signature”, select the email account you want to associate the signature with.
- For both “New messages” and “Replies/forwards”, select the name you entered in Step 6.
- Click save and your all done.
Alternative Way of Adding Logo/Photo to Signature
As mentioned above in step 8 you can simply add a photo by clicking on the image icon and selecting a file from your computer. But what if you don’t want to add a logo/photo that way? Here’s an alternate solution, you can copy and paste your logo/photo from any document or if for some reason copy/paste does not work for you, you can also upload a photo (jpg or gif) to your web server or to a photo sharing service like Photo Bucket. Access your photo through the web like this http://yourwebserver .com/yourphoto.jpg, once the photo is visible on the screen, you then can right click, and select copy, go back into your signature field and click paste.
