Microsoft Outlook Instructions

  • Go to the location of your HTML Email Signature that has been emailed to you.
  • Select the signature.
    The easiest way to do this is to Press CMD-A or Ctrl-A (pressing the “Ctrl” key and the “A” key at the same time will “Select All” – the signature will turn blue and be completely highlighted in your browser)
    Alternatively, select the signature with your mouse cursor. Make sure to highlight the entire signature.
  • Copy the signature.
    The easiest way to do this is by pressing Ctrl-C (pressing the “Ctrl” key and the “C” key at the same time will “Copy” the signature to your computer’s clipboard – you won’t actually see anything happening)
  • Paste the signature into your email program.
    Either within a new email, or within the “signatures” section of your program, simply paste the signature. The easiest way is again to use keyboard short cuts; press Ctrl-V (‘control’ + ‘V’ is pasting from your clip board to the location where your cursor is situated.)
    See below instructions for specific email clients.

Note: The links in the signatures will not work while you are composing your message – they will work once you have received the sent message and are in “reading” mode within your email program.
