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

2. Go to Settings > View all Outlook settings > Compose and reply.

3. Under Email signature, type your signature and use the available formatting options to change its appearance.

   Note: You can have only one signature per account.

   • 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 these options, you can manually add your signature to a selected message. For details, see Manually add your signature to a new message below.
