'03 Word and Outlook signature and format problem
I just upgraded from Office 2000 to 2003. Have run into two issues I can't
seem to correct. I have one e-mail account I use and my signature appears correctly when I compose e-mails from within Outlook. I don't have Word set up as my e-mail editor. (I didn't in Outlook 2000 either). When I'm in Word 03 and want to SEND Doc AS an attachment, Outlook opens up just fine, and the file is attached. However, my signature is not showing up automatically. Also, I want the message to go out in html format but it is opening a text option automatically when coming over from Word. Like I said, when starting in Outlook, the signature and the format are fine. I can't find where to make any adjustments to get it to act the same way when coming from Word. (it worked just fine before I upgraded) Thanks for any help. |

'03 Word and Outlook signature and format problem
This is because the Send To command initiates SimpleMapi and only a reduced
set of functionality is possible this way. The message format should HTML though when you have set it to in Tools- Options- tab Mail Format. I've just verified this on a machine with Office 2003 Service Pack 3 installed (and remaining additional updates). You can insert the signature via Insert- Signature -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "rk" wrote in message ...

'03 Word and Outlook signature and format problem
Hi - thanks for your reply, but still have some questions/comments.
In Outlook, I DO have the mail format tab set to compose in HTML. And it works just fine when composing within Outlook and the signature is added normally too. But I do a TON of "Send As" attachment e-mails from within Word. Did it with no problems at all last weekend with Word 2000 and it would go as the HTML default format along with my set signature. But can't do it automatically anymore. I've seen where I can change the format once the message window opens up as well as Insert a signature, but those are extra steps I don't want to mess with. Not sure what the "simple mapi" reference is about. So could use some advice on that and if that's something that can be tweaked so I can get back to working as efficiently as I did with the old version. I was worried that I'd have some type of software install problem when upgrading. Instead I ended up with a smooth install, but a functionality issue. ugh also - I've got SP3 and a ton of additional updates installed too thanks rk "Roady [MVP]" wrote: This is because the Send To command initiates SimpleMapi and only a reduced set of functionality is possible this way.
