How do I put pictures into a signature

I put them (using insert) into the editor but they show on the email when you are composing - but not when it arrives

Help?

Are you using RTF or HTML for your format? If it's plain text they will of course become attachments or not show up at all.

Rich text - is that wrong?

According to the Help menu on my Outlook:

You must use Microsoft Office Word 2003 as your e-mail editor when sending signatures with pictures or logos.

In the main Outlook window, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Mail Format tab.
Under Message format, in the Compose in this message format list, click the message format that you want to use the signature with.
Under Signature, click Signatures, and then click New.
In the Enter a name for your new signature box, type a name.
Under Choose how to create your signature, select the option you want.
Click Next.
Click Advanced Edit.
When the dialog box appears cautioning you that an editor not part of Microsoft Office Outlook will open, click Yes.

Design your signature. When you are ready to insert a picture or logo, on the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then click From File.
Note If you are designing your signature in Word, make sure that you press SHIFT+ENTER at the end of each line of text. If you press only ENTER, Outlook inserts your signature so that the recipient sees your signature in double-spaced format.

Close the advanced editor, making sure that you click Yes to save your changes.
When you finish editing the new signature, click OK.

Yep - I did all that

The signature is there in compose - but disappears when it arrives somewhere

In Tools... options...security Is the box that says something like "block images and other external content" checked? Wondered if this might block the image?

Lilymaid · 05/06/2007 14:19

Soupdragon - I think you have found the right box for Katymac - she does need to "untick" it.

Katymac · 05/06/2007 14:36

Nope that didn't work

Sorry

You know that if the recipient READS their email in plain text signatures don't appear right?

Lilymaid · 05/06/2007 16:35

Could the answer be in this tutorial?

Katymac · 05/06/2007 16:44

You could try running a campaign....but no, not really.

Which version are you using?

Katymac · 05/06/2007 17:05

2003 (I think?)

OP posts:
whomovedmychocolate · 05/06/2007 19:42

try this

Katymac · 05/06/2007 19:49

Well that says I shouldn't put a picture in anyway

So maybe I should just give up

Thanks anyway - I had thought it would look professional - never mind

Actually people hate them because most people read in plain text these days and most readers strip out images because of virus risks and because most of those with images in are spam.

Name
Telephone number
Business name

is tres chic these days.

Katymac · 05/06/2007 20:08

I'm starting to get that idea........
