I use Word as my email editor for Outlook. I want to have a standard default signature attached to each outgoing email. I can set this up in Word ( /tools/options/general/email options) and this signature is then available in Outlook and is used for each new email. However if I then close both Word and Outlook and reopen them the signature has not been saved and has disappeared.
Advice please.

 
Can you set it up in Outlook. Go to Tools>Options>Mail Format

Under there is a button called Signatures. If you click that you should be able to create a signature.
 
The problem is that it is for a customer of mine and he wants to use Microsoft word as his editor. I know how to setup an ordinary signature through outlook.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
 
Try the following:

1. Open a new email
2. In the message section type the signature you want
3. Go CTRL+A to select the signature
4. Go Tools ->Autosignature...
5. Click Yes. Note, if you haven't inserted a blank line at the beginning of the signature make sure you check the box "Add blank line... ".

Your signature is now saved. It will appear on all future emails as long as you are using Word as your mail editor. To edit it simply open a new email, edit or replace the signature, and repeat steps 3 to 5 above.

Hope this helps.
