Creating an Outlook Signature Template...HTML only? 1

[wahnula]

Howdy,

I am trying to enforce a company signature policy for our small (10-user) org. We have a logo, in MS Word format, one part as a picture and the second part as an object in MS Word. I need to create a template that I can place on the server for everyone to access and modify and save as their own.

What is the best way to take this information and convert it into HTML so I can use it in the template? I tried doing a simple "Save As Web Page" and it creates an .htm file, which is seen and recognized by Outlook as a Signature, but the areas where the picture and object are become red X's. Obviously my skills lie elsewhere than MS office, but I'm a fast learner. MS Office 2003, SP2. Thanks as always.

The best way is to use a third party utility to force the company logo and the users' signature to be added to the the outgoing mail. We use a utility called eXclaimer which is an Exchange plug-in. You create the template on the server and it is automatically added to every outgoing (external) email. It picks up the correct signature using an Active Directory lookup. You can even use different logos and signature blocks dependant on the department as well as the user who sends the email. You can also use it to enforce fonts and style too.

tf1,

Brilliant solution, thanks. While I'm not thrilled about running another app on the server, this plug-in doesn't seem too bulky, and offers a LOT of functionality. Thanks again.
