Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Log on to Hotmail and click on "Options" in the top right-hand corner of the Hotmail window.

2. Find the "Customize Your Mail" menu. From the menu, click on "Personal Email Signature." A signature window will open.

3. Type in the text of your signature into the text box. Put in your name, email address, phone number, professional title and any other important information. Some people like to include a favorite quote or joke at the end of their signature.

4. Use the icons above the text box to change the font, font size, alignment of the text or add emoticons. Click the "Globe" icon to insert a hyperlink to a web page into your Hotmail signature.

Tips & Warnings

• Consider adding the standard email signature delimiter to your Hotmail signature. This is the standard way to separate the body of your email from your signature. The standard email signature delimiter is two dashes on the line before your signature (--).

on 7/12/2008 This was an excellent and easy to use set of instructions. I have a client with a hotmail account that is not very computer savy. I used these instructions to walk him through setting up his signature. I don't have a hotmail account and was able to use these instructions without having an account to look at.
