Outlook Signatures

Does anybody know the limitations to outlook 2000 signatures.
I tried putting javascript in and its having non of it, yet it displays in the editor on outlook, but when you save and open a new email it dissapears.
Also anybody got any good ideas for pushing the boundaries of the signature.
The problem is, I have one that I kinda like but about 5 people where I work have taken a shining to it and it keeps popping up in emails from them in different colours (and names) I should have copyrighted it so nobody can rip it off. B*astards!

Please send me a retainer of $5,000 US and we will see them in court.

Setting Default Outlook Signature By Group Policy

Hi
I am attempting to standardise our company's email signature for all users. A contact supplied me with a VBA script which generates a signature based on the user's AD information. This works great but I would like group policy to set this signature as default
to prevent users from making changes. From various Google searches, it seems that the default signature can be set by GP, but I can't seem to make sense of any of the posts that I find. This may be because I am new to GP and don't understand the context. Any
suggestions as to what would be the best way to approach this?
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve_Flynn,
According to your description, you would like to set default Outlook signature using group policy. Right?
Based on my knowledge, the signature file is located in the path %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft \Signatures on Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. And then we need to configure the related registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\x.0\Common\MailSettings or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\x.0\Common\MailSettings.For more information, please refer to the following article:
How to deploy a default email signature in Outlook
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2691977/en-us
We can deploy the signature file and configure the registry key via Group Policy to resolve the issue. For your information, please refer to the following article to learn more:

Pdf form: attaching Outlook signatures

When using a submit button on a form, the pdf is attached to an email, with automated text in the email "The attached file contains data that was..."
This replaces the automatic email signature I have set in my email application. (it should have appeared automatically)
How do I get the signature to appear as well as/instead of this text automatically?
I need this on there to prompt applicants of my pdf form to insert there Outlook signature.
Thanks in advance,
Olgun

Thanks, Mike.
Its strange because it does allow the following text (below) to go into the body of the email. Do you think it could work with some java/other type scripting?
"The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself.
The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later for more details."

Acrobat & MS Outlook & signatures

When I generate a new e-mail message from Acrobat with the PDF file as an attachment it creates the Outllok message without incident, but it does not include my default Outlook signature.
Does anyone know how to set up Acrobat or Outlook so it uses my "signature"?
Thanks!

How do I post a form in PDF format, which will be any form? I have posted the "form" in jpg (below) because I see how to post an IMAGE by using the camera icon above.
In fact, I am having this problem “placing signatures” in ALL my Adobe forms. Anything I save as a PDF file, where in Adobe Reader ver.11 I can sign the exact same document by “placing a signature” I cannot do so in Acrobat. For example, if I type a MS Word letter (like the posted image here) that I want to send to another person, but I do not what them to have the ability to modify it, I will save the letter as a PDF file. Then, when it is a PDf file format, I will sign the letter by placing a signature, because of the convenient “placing signature” function available in Adobe Reader ver.11. If I wanted to sign the letter in MS Word BEFORE I saved it as a PDF document I would have to do an ‘Insert of a picture of my signature’, which is also easy but not as easy and convenient as placing a signature in Reader 11.
This problem began when I downloaded Acrobat 11 as a trial. Now, suddenly, I cannot do this simple “placing a signature function but instead I get the digital nonsense. I have to close the file, and re-open it is Reader 11 to placing a signature.
No No, Something is amiss (malfunctioning). It is not regular, normal functioning that I am experiencing here.

Outlook signature and SAP

Hi, everyone-
I just installed the Outlook Integration. When emailing a document out of SAP, I would like each user's Outlook signature to show in the email, just as it does when emailing directly out of SAP. I saw an earlier post that mentions changing the signature in the SBO mailer, but this appears to be only for the company signature, not each individual user.
Is there a way to add each user's signature based on their login?
Thanks,
Shelby

Hi Shelby,
As far as I know, this is not currently supported by OI. You may posted on the following forum to be candidate for next version development:

It worked under ios6

Unrecognized Lync contact opens when sip address added in the outlook signature block

I have added my sip address into my outlook signature block. Why does an inactive contact conversation opens, if I click on the link in the signature? It looks, like my profile in Lync, with the same picture and name, but the presence cannot be recognized,
thus a Lync message cannot be sent.

Hi,
Which Lync 2010 command-line parameter did you added in the signature block?
If you want to open the IM conversation windows of you when others clicking the signature, you can use the following command-line parameter:
Sip:[email protected]
Sips:[email protected]
Im:<sip:[email protected]>
More details:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398376(v=ocs.14).aspx
If you enter the correct command-line, however the issue persists, please try to delete your Lync user profile with the following path and then test the issue again:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\[email protected]

Outlook signature appears vertically on iphone

When I use my Outlook signature (just plain text) it appears vertically when opened on an i phone as a big long string of text. How do I fix this?

Hi,
Go to %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures, you will find for each signature, there are three type of files: .html, .rtf, .txt.
So the signature format is decided by your email format.
If you want your signature to be in html, make sure you are editing the signature in html.

Outlook signature

We are using a vbscript to assign a Outlook 2010 signature to the users that are logging in the network.
A few things are a problem. First the logo is different when we open it in a editor it looks sharp etc. In Outlook it looks less sharp and smaller or larger. I have read that this is because Outlook is making a 96 dpi image of it. So i saved the jpg as a
96 dpi image but then it becomes 500 kb so thats to large.
The second problem i have is the color of the text in the script. Whatever i use for color the color is not much changing in Outlook. It looks much lighter then the color code says. Below is a part of the script. Is there something not right?
For example i have made the color www.company.com magenta but it stays the same in Outlook after restarting the system twice. It is also not underlined anymore so it is not a link. Something in the code must be wrong....
Between the lines the fonts are made arial 10 pt and a kind of darkgrey, but in Outlook it isgrey, also when you print it..
Outlook seems to do things on his own or is ignoring the script language in this case?

I am struggling to get a nice signature in Outlook 2010. The signature is created with a VB script that runs when a user logs in on the system.
The problem is the color for the text in the signature and the logo.
If i put a RGB value in the script for the color of the text, the text keeps getting another color for example i have given the value RGB(47,79,79) is almost the same as (81,82,82) displayed although this is a much different tint...
Another problem i am getting is with the logo: Made a logo which is resized in Outlook. I have already read on howto-Outlook site that Outlook is resizing the image to 96 DPI. So i did just that but then the picture is 500 KB big so i would like an image
for lets say in print size 0.8 x 2.0 cm (not inch..) high and in good quality.
What i found strange: opening the signature in Outlook with CTRL pressed gives the htm file whre the signature is: opening that in Word 2010 the signature sees the color much darker then Outlook does? And the image is larger then when displayed in Outlook..
It looks that every change i make to the color of the text or the image it does not change in Outlook 2010 but when choossing in the options in Outlook in options-email-ctrl on signature and then edit the signature.htm the changes are displayed...not in
Outlook but the changes are in the signature file when displaying in Word?
How to overcome above problems?

Outlook Signatures as Downloads in Gallery?

I just got a Moto X, and when I synced my Outlook exchange email, all emails I receive with signatures are being downloaded as image attachments. I get a LOT of emails and these are building up in my Photo Gallery. I've searched and searched and really can't seem to find an exact solution. I'm using Touchdown for email access at the moment. Any suggestions are welcome - this is driving me crazy!

kjmh,
Oh my, I am sure I would be feeling the same if all my signatures were saving as attachments. Have you tried to go through the actual outlook/touchdown app to see if there was an option you could uncheck?

Outlook signature deleted

Everytime I sync my blackberry storm I lose my signature in outlook. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Please check the signatures templates per signature, one for each email format and see what's the content:
Plain Text-> <signature name>.txt
HTML-> <signature name>.htm
Rich Text-> <signature name>.rtf
You can find the files here:
Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 - C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures
Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures
Also, check if the old signature templates are still there, if yes, delete them and try again.

Outlook Signature Duplication

I created a new updated signature in Outlook and deleted the old one. When I start a new email, all looks fine and only the current signature is visible. However, when my recipients receive their messages, the original signature which is deleted,
is appearing right below the new one. Every time I reply to a message, it repeats itself. Since the original signature has been removed, I'm stumped on what to do you correct this issue if it even is something I can correct.
Thank you!

Is this a bug of Outlook 2007 about images displaying in signature?

I've done many tests and researched on website or MS KB. But still got no solution.
My issue is:
I make a signature with images linking from website which can be easily accessed.
I setup this signature in Outlook 2007, when I compose a new mail, and choose the signature I set. It won't show the images with a high percentage rate, meanwhile, I try to get into "Signature"-"Signature...",
Outlook2007 gets stuck, then you can not close Outlook or open Internet Explorer unless you kill the process of OUTLOOK.exe.
1. Test are done under a clean XP system and Office 2007 standard fresh installed. Also there are some other staffs who help me test the signature that report the same issue on Office 2007.
2. Images are rendered in 96dpi. They are all in very small size stored on website, can be easily accessed without network connctivity problem.
3. The signature is made by simple HTML language not by Outlook signature setup wizard. but in this case, you can ignore which method I use to create the signature. The images in signature can be displayed well in Outlook 2003 &
2010. Also I have tried insert images using "link to file" in Outlook signature setup wizard, got same issue.
4. Don't suggest me to store the images locally. These images should be updated after a period. You can not ask the company staffs to update these images manually by themselves. and even if the images are stored locally, the images won't be shown
in Outlook 2007 with a high percentage rate.
5. I've tried setup signature with or without an account profile, got same issue.
6. I 've tried without an accout profile, just copy the signature file to Outlook signature folder, unplug the network cable, and "new mail" then load the signature, of course, the images won't be shown because network connection doesn't exist,
and then when I try to get into "Signature"-"Signature...", the Outlook interface also gets stuck. So I think Outlook 2007 may have some problem on detecting the network connectivity.
7. It is not possible to upgrate the version of Office. Since Office 2007 isn't out of date and is powerful enough for us, no one want to pay more money just to avoid this issue.
I don't know why I cannot upload a screenshot for troubleshooting. If needed. I can send a mail with screenshot attached.
So far to now, I still get no solution, I think this is a bug of Outlook 2007, because the same signature, there is no problem on Outlook 2003 & 2010. Hope someone of MS staff can see this article and report to technical support center.
I would appriciate anyone's kindly help but please consider that you understand what I am talking about. I don't want to waste time for each of us.
thanks in advanced.

What kind of problem about the display image in signature?
How do you add the image into the message body when you send the message?
Does it show correct through Web-based access?
