Outlook 2010 E-mail Signature Advanced edit

Applies To:
In Outlook 2003, when creating an e-mail signature you could go to advanced options and edit the signature in Word.  This does not appear to be a choice in 2010.  Is there a way to do this?  When you create a signature in 2010 it allows you to insert a picture.  However, there does not appear to be a way to change the word wrap.  We ahve a user trying to add a picture on the left and then text to the right.  Is there a way to change the word wrap so that all of the text can be to the right of the picture (right now it starts to the right of the picture for one line and then goes underneath it).  Or is there a way to create it in Word?  Also, when done in Word you could save your signature (in our network when profiles get deleted, signatures do as well).  Is there a way to save signatures in 2010?  Thank You!!!

The signatures stored as usually ".htm" files. (Start >> Ru >> %appdata%\microsoft\signatures)

Find the .htm file and edit it in word

This worked!  Thank you so much, I looked a lot online and couldn't find the answer.  I can't believe you have to go through all of that, hopefully they will address the issue in the next version.

Hi,

 

I'm searching for the trouble with creating my signature with embedded png or jpg images that are links. I have some local png images (and copies of them as jpgs) of buttons for social media, and embedded them into the signature, then turned them into links. I did this using Outlook 2007. In Outlook 2007, they looked fine and when I emailed, the signature showed my social media buttons with the links properly working.

I installed Outlook 2010 and now the signature images are little black squares instead of the images. If I try to embed new images of the same files they are still black squares. If I try using WORD 2010 to edit the signature file according to your instructions here on the forum, they are still black squares in WORD. If I view these same images under the Windows 7 explorer (viewing the folder in medium icon view), they look fine. If I open them under Google Chrome, paint, or Quicktime picture viewer they look fine. If I open with Microsoft Office 2010, it is a black square. If I embed the image anyway, then send the email including the signature to  my email account (e.g. gmail) the image is a black square. For some reason, Office 2010 is seeing images as black squares. 

 

I've tried looking at properties of the images within Word and within Outlook, but see nothing that would help. I tried looking at the jpg file properties from the WIndows explorer, and even tried removing all personal properties and also unblocking the file, but it still shows up as a black square.

Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks,

Michael

I had the same problem and couldn't find anything on the internet that would help.

First, I checked to see if the images were available in Outlook Safe Mode.

Hold Ctrl then click outlook icon, it will request to start in safe mode.

If the images show in safe mode, then try making changes in the Trust Center.

Click File, Options, Trust Center, Trust Center Settings, Uncheck the "Don't Download pictures automatically in HTML e-mail messages or RSS items.

If the images don't appear, then the final step is to check the .pst files are corrupt or the user profile is corrupt. (maybe because of the upgrade or install)

google "repair profiles in Outlook" or "repair Profiles in Windows7"

After reviewing all of the suggestions on the internet and Microsoft, I finally ended up with creating a new profile.

Unfortunately this was the last resort.

Make a backup first.

Colleague just had this same problem after using the same PNG files that she used from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2010 in her email signature - we overcame the issue by converting the PNG files to JPG and now they work and show up perfectly.  I think there is something with Outlook 2010 and PNG files?

I was able to use this link in order to find the word document and I could wrap the text there.  After saving it, I opened up the email signature in Outlook 2010 and nothing had changed.  Back to square 1.

Any suggestions?  Thank you.

No, I found the htm file and edited so it looked OK in Word. But, the moment I bring the signature with the company logo (image) into a new Outlook message, the logo gets in between two text lines. Any suggestion re: settings (details, please - I'm a newbie).

When you open up the signatures folder, delete the notepad & html versions of the file. Open the Rich text format file with word and edit it. Once you have edited it in word, save the rich text format file first then go to file - save as; and change the save file type to 'web page' and hit save. When you go back into outlook and new mail the signature should be there (hopefully) - it worked for me :) good luck

Hi all.  I found the easiest way to change delete and or edit your signature in outlook 2010 is to open a new email click on the signature button and at the bottom there is an option that opens a new window that lets you edit, add and or delete signatures.  Also lets you paste in from word.  Hope this helps
