Create and add an email signature in Outlook.com

Create a signature for your email messages that you can add automatically to all outgoing messages or manually to specific ones.

Create an email signature

1. Sign in to Outlook.com.

2. On the toolbar bar, choose Settings > Options.

   

3. In the navigation pane, under Mail, choose Layout > Email signature.

   

4. In the text box, type your signature and use the available formatting options to change its appearance.

5. If you want your signature to appear at the bottom of all new email messages that you compose, select the Automatically include my signature on new messages I compose check box. If you want your signature to appear on messages that you forward or reply to, select the Automatically include my signature on messages I forward or reply to check box.

   If you don't select this option, you can manually add your signature to a selected message. For details, see Manually add your signature to a new message.

6. Select Save when you're done.

   Note: You can always return to the Email signature page and select or clear the check box for automatically including your signature.

Manually add your signature to a new message

If you've created a signature, but didn't choose to automatically add it to all outgoing messages, you can add it later when you write an email message.

1. Go to your mailbox and choose to create a new email message.

2. Type your message, and then choose > Insert signature on the toolbar.

3. When your email message is ready, choose Send.
