Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Open Outlook Express and go to the tools menu. From there select "options."

2. Select the "signatures" tab from the window that comes up. In the signatures tab, choose "new."

3. Decide what information you would like included in your signature. Include your name, email address, mailing address, phone and fax numbers, business title and any other important information. Including a favorite quote, joke and short piece of wisdom is a way to liven up your emails.

4. Type the text of your email signature in the text box. Enter the text exactly how you want it to be displayed in your Outlook Express email. It is best to limit your signature to about five lines to make important information easy to find.

5. Choose rename at the top of the window to name your signature. Also at the top, not the check box next to "Add signatures to all outgoing messages." Select this if you would like Outlook Express to automatically add your signature to your email. If you leave this unchecked, you can add your signature manually.

6. Test your signature by opening up a new email message. If you choose to add the signature automatically, it should appear. If you choose to manually add your signature, go to "Insert" on the menu and click on "Signature."

7. Create additional signatures using the same process if you need more than one signature. For example, you can have one for work and one for personal email. After you create the second Outlook Express signature, click on the "Advanced" button next to the signature text box. Select which account you want to associate the new signature with.
