Default Outlook 2003 Signature

I know who to create a signature for all new messages and/or replies. Ho can I create a signature and then be able to manually add it to whatever message I want.

Outlook 2003 has an Autotext feature, but that just allows sigs made from registered user information.

I want to create an exchange sig, leave it turned off and then be able to insert it whenever I want. i though you could just right-click an e-mail and select Insert -> sig, but it's not there.

Pretty sure you could do this in Outlook 2000.

Stefan

Yes, I know that you Muppet. Did you read my question?

I know how to create the Exchange signature, but the only options are

"Signature for new messages"
"Signature for replies and forwards"

I want to leave these off and then insert a signature when needed.

Is this possible and is there some keystroke or option I'm blind to?

TIA,
Stefan

I can do it via the Insert menu on the message.

Under Options>Mail format, do not assign a signature for the mail accounts - leave it showing <blank>. That way, each time you create a new email, you can manually add a signature as described by ChrisB above... ie: Click New, click insert-choose signature

No worries Gary, I just liked winding you up

ChrisB, Soulgirl - That's what I thought, but the option isn't available in my Outlook (or anyone else on our network for that matter)

All I get with a new message is Insert -> Picture, AutoText, File, Reference
