Hi,

I created a signature with in html to use in outlook. Now I selected the signature to use, but got a weird thing, because all the signature is in Arial font, but when I send a mail, one of the lines appears in Times New Roman.
Anyone has any idea of what might be the problem.

THanks in advance.
 
You don't say how you created the signature and added it to Outlook? But to do this successfully, you need to use Word as the Email Editor, then use the following method:

Select Tools, Options, Mail Format Signature
Click on Edit and then select Advanced Edit
You'll receive a warning about opening an editor external to Outlook (it will be Word) and then choose HTML from the list.
Create your email signature in the Word editor and Save it (why this is necessary, I don't know, but if you don't, it won't work properly!)
Then close Word and OK out of the dialogs.

The signature should now work OK. It's consoluted, but I tried creating an HTML sig block and then copying it into the Signature Editor and I experienced the same problem as you in that some lines get switched to TNR (which is Word's default font).

Yes.. it worked fine.. very strange problem that happens only with outlook, because in outlook express it doesn't happen.

Thank you.
