Outlook 2007: Giving you the HTML Signature…

[image] Missing your HTML signatures or showing off the flashy feedburner signature in Outlook 2007? Well, look no further. It’s been months since I have been using Outlook 2007 and no matter whatever options I tried, it just didn’t work! Douglas raised the flag earlier in this post and since then I have been looking around on and off till I discovered this solution:

You just need to edit the HTML signature file at

C:\Documents & settings\user name\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures

Create a HTML file and add your Feed burner script.

Done!

NOTE: If your files are hidden, you will not see Application Data. Unhide the files and folders to see this.

Thanks for the info. It really helped me set up my signature with all the HTML formatting. I tried and tried to set it up from Outlook Options for so much time before seeing this.

I have Vista Home Premium and found the directory at c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures but when I insert the HTML signature through Outlook 2007 nothing happens, no sig is inserted. Any ideas?

Michael,
Did you insert the signature in Outlook 2007? I’ d suggest you create the signature in Outlook and then modify the html file in the above location. Let me know how that goes.

I too wish to have a picture to the left of my signature. The signature has six lines of text, and I wish the picture to span all six lines. Thanks!

I second ACG and Rick’s request. Or third. However that works.

Thanks! Allowed me to migrate signatures in Outlook 2007, as well. I sure didn’t want to retype them all.

If you’re all asking how you can get pictures to work in-line etc, look up a good HTML formatting guide. It’s doable.
