Create an email signature in Outlook

  1. Open a new email message.

  2. On the Message menu, select Signature Signatures.

    Depending on the size of your Outlook window and whether you're composing a new email message or a reply or forward, the Message menu and the Signature button might be in two different locations.

    Select Signature from the Message menu.

    Select Signature with a reply or forward in the reading pane.

  3. Under Select signature to edit, choose New, and in the New Signature dialog box, type a name for the signature.

  4. Under Edit signature, compose your signature. You can change fonts, font colors, and sizes, as well as text alignment. If you want to create a more robust signature with bullets, tables, or borders, use Word to format your text, then copy and paste the signature into the Edit signature box. You can also use one of our pre-designed templates for your signature. Download the templates in Word, customize them with your personal information, and then copy and paste them into the Edit signature box. 

    Type a new signature to use in your email

    Notes: 

      • You can add links and images to your email signature, change fonts and colors, and justify the text using the mini formatting bar under Edit signature.
      • You can also add social media icons and links in your signature or customize one of our pre-designed temlates. For more information, see Create a signature from a template.
      • To add images to your signature, see Add a logo or image to your signature.

 

  • 5. Choose default signature, set the following options for your signature:

    In the E-mail account drop-down box, choose an email account to associate with the signature. You can have different signatures for each email account.

    If you want your signature added to all new messages by default, in the New messages drop-down box, select one of your signatures. If you don't want to automatically add a signature to new messages, choose (none). This doesn't add a signature to any messages you reply to or forward.
