How to Insert a Signature Automatically in Entourage Email

All versions of Entourage for Mac OS X allow you to create signatures.

Adding a signature to your emails saves time when typing, and can make your emails look more professional and consistent. With Microsoft Entourage, you can automatically assign signatures to your email accounts, and save multiple signatures in each different account, so you can choose the most appropriate one for the recipient. Creating signatures requires only a few clicks, and you can go back and delete or modify them at any time without having to reassign them to an account.

Instructions

1. Open the Tools menu from your Entourage menu bar, and select "Signatures."

2. Click "New," and type your desired signature in the popup box. Give your signature a name as well. You can save multiple signatures, so it's important to choose a recognizable name relevant to each signature.

3. Close the signature box, and save your changes when you're prompted to do so.

4. Open the Tools menu again from the Entourage menu bar, and choose "Accounts."

5. Double-click on the name of the account that you want to add your signature.

6. Select "Options" from the menu at the top of the box, and choose the signature you created from the "Default signature" drop-down list.

7. Click "OK," and now any time you write a new email using your selected account, it will automatically contain the signature you created.
