Signatures Using WordMail

If you are using WordMail that comes with Office95, you can send e-mail using Microsoft Word.

Exchange will automatically detect the addition and start WordMail when you create a new e-mail or reply to an existing one.

It will use Word's spell checker, most of the WinWord text formatting capabilities (centering, full justification, bold, italics)
a special Mail button bar and quite a few new features. It is certainly worth trying out.

This may sound like MS hype but I'm actually quite impressed

To include a signature:

  1. Start a new message (Ctrl-N)
  2. Type in your signature.
  3. Highlight your signature text.
  4. From the pulldown menu, select Edit / Autotext.
  5. Type in signature for the name.
  6. Click on the Add button.
  7. Now when you send any message, this text will be added to the beginning.

Advantages are:

  1. By adding the text to the beginning of the file, a reply will have your signature at the end of your reply, not at the end of their message.
  2. You can format text with Bold, Italics, Underlines etc. Anyone using Exchange can also view them
