How to Create an Email Signature in Word

An email signature is a fancy name for a text box at the end of an email message. It can contain any information that you would like to provide to the email recipient. For example, if you wanted to use an email signature at your place of employment, you could include your name and some pertinent contact information, such as telephone number, fax number and company name. You might even include a company logo. If you take a few minutes to create an email signature in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook will automatically add it to each email that you send.
