With so many features and knickknacks under the hood, there has to be an easy way to make a HTML email signature with an image right? Once again, Microsoft has made it extremely difficult to include complex email signatures, especially those that include remote images. But fear not!
Outlook 2010 (Office Pro Plus 32-bit) - Windows 7 Enterprise When a particular user in my organisation replies to some HTML emails Outlook completely freezes and needs to be ended via Task Manager and restarted.
Today, we're going to walk you through how to create these complex HTML signatures, and also include a remote image. This isn't the first 'how-to' that explains how to achieve this, but not many go over including a remote image that doesn't come in the inbox looking like there's an attachment associated with it. First, here's what you'll need:. A Mac running OSX. Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. A web hosting provider to house your image (If you don't have one, I would advise using Dropbox to host your image for the time being. Instructions on how to do that here.) a free image hosting service like.
An HTML editor (Coda, TextMate, Adobe Dreamweaver, or whatever you're comfortable with just as long as it's not MS Word.) We'll also assume that:. You have basic HTML know how. Capable of uploading an image file to a web server, or a Dropbox account as stated above a remote server Step 1 Decide what sort of information you want to display on your signature. For this demonstration, we'll use first/last name, email, telephone, company name and logo. Step 2 Create your signature in your HTML editor of choice (or download the one that's available in the download link below and edit it with your plain text HTML editor). If applicable, upload your image to the web server taking note of the public path and inserting it into your HTML signature. For the more advanced users, Basic inline CSS is alright to use, as long as it's not used to position items.tables only!
Step 3 Once you have your email signature designed and laid out just as you like, save the file to your Desktop and call it 'signature.html' and review it if you wish. Step 4 Open the 'signature.html' file that you've just created in Chrome or Firefox (not tested with other browsers) Step 5 With the browser open and on the foreground and your signature file displayed, press Command + A on your keyboard to 'Select All' Step 6 Open Outlook Select 'Preferences' and 'Signatures' Step 7 Click the plus button on the lower left to create a new signature.
If there’s content in the big right signature window after you've clicked the plus icon, delete it. In my case, it was displaying my first and last name. Step 8 Press Command + v on your keyboard to paste in your signature that you copied from your browser Step 9 Set your 'Default Signatures' and rejoice! Download the HTML email signature template.
Last updated: Sep 15, 2017 ISSUE The Zoom setting can be found in a new email message window by selecting the Options tab and clicking the Zoom button on the Ribbon. If the zoom setting is altered on a new message, the altered setting remains until changed back. Zoom does not change the actual font size, it simply zooms in or out on the composing window text, (impacts the composing mode window of all new messages/replies). Zoom does not affect the reading pane or received messages - those will show the actual font size. Once the setting is applied in the Outlook profile, it will retain for all future messages until it is changed in the message Options menu.

This can cause a perceived smaller font if the zoom is set to less than 100%. For example, if the zoom is set at 75%, the font of newly composed (or reply/forward) appears to be smaller, compared to the reading pane or an open received message (not in composing mode). STATUS This behavior is by design.
Please check your zoom settings if you run into this issue and adjust as appropriate. Last updated: August, 2017 ISSUE Cannot Import Apple Contacts into Outlook 2016 for mac. STATUS: Workaround. Drag the contacts out of your Mac address book and drop onto your desktop.
