    Email signature are by default text messages. However I wanted to create HTML signature (see below) for my email messages. The procedure is supported but not at all straighforward.



    Steps:



  • Go to Tools/Option/Mail Format and set Send in this message format to HTML.
  • Create a file with .html extension in notepad containing your only HTML text (don’t bother about making it correct HTML) and save it. Remember to set Save as Type to HTML
  • Open it in Internet Explorer and copy it to clipboard using Ctrl-A Ctrl-C after first clicking within the explorer. Now the HTML is copied in proper format to clipboard.
  • In Microsoft Outlook go to Options/Mail Format/Signature Picker and click on New.
  • Choose a name for your signature (any name is fine) and click Next.
  • Paste your signature in the box provided using Ctrl-V.
  • In Tools/Options/MailFormat ensure that your signature name (chosen earlier) is selected as Use this signature by default.
  • Test by creating a new email and verifying that the HTML signature is actually included in the created email.


  • Note: In case of any problems read the instructions carefully again. The instructions are for Microsoft Outlook 2000. If you have a different version adjust accordingly.


    Now you know how to create a signature like this:

    Hi everyone

    I want to put signatures in email messages on a pc with Outlook 2003 and another one with Outlook 2007. But I want the signature to have some animated text (example, the name coming from the right edge, the company name coming from the left, and so on with all the signature's data).

    I don't want to convert the animated text into a gif or some other animated graphic format. I'm talking about "real" text that you can select and copy from de signature, if you wanted to, but that has animated features.

    Thanks.



  • Try an html signature, using the MARQUEE tag (one tag per line of the sig):

    <MARQUEE id=Marquee2 style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; WIDTH: 220px; HEIGHT: 17px"
    trueSpeed scrollAmount=1 scrollDelay=3 behavior=slide direction=left loop=1 border="0">Tel:-
          01234&nbsp;567 8910</MARQUEE><BR>
          <MARQUEE id=Marquee1 style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; WIDTH: 340px; HEIGHT: 17px"
    trueSpeed scrollAmount=2 scrollDelay=5 behavior=slide direction=right loop=1 border="0">Fax:-
          01234&nbsp;567 8910</MARQUEE>

    Full syntax here:

    But you should still try and talk them out of it.  Its naff, and causes trouble within some email clients.
