If you’ve had a new email signature created by Skipton Tech or yourself that you are now looking to apply into your Outlook then follow the following steps to ensure this works for you.
Step 1: Add a New Placeholder Signature
In Outlook, go to File > Options > Mail and click on “Signatures“. Click “New” to create a new placeholder signature. Give the new signature a name you can remember.
Set to use your new Signature for both New Messages and Replies/Forwards.
Hit “OK” to save and “OK” again to close the Outlook Options window.
QUIT OUTLOOK
Step 2: Open Outlook’s Signature Folder on Your Computer
Here are the locations on the hard drive where Outlook places signature files, these locations are usually hidden so make sure you show hidden files and folders:
Windows 7 and Windows Vista
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures
Step 3: Find and Open the New Signature file
Within the Signature Folder, locate the file that you have created in Step 1. If you see multiple files with the same name, the file you want to open is the HTM file with the .htm extension. Open it with Notepad. You can right-click on the file and select Open with > Notepad.
Step 4: Replace Placeholder Text With Your HTML Code
If we have created a signature for you, you will have received an HTML file with a .html extension containing the HTML code for your signature. Open this file in Notepad to view the code.
Erase all content in the placeholder signature file and paste your HTML signature code. Hit File > Save.
Send yourself an email to test the signature.
