Hi All, I'm trying to create a signature for emails with Outlook. I want to incorporate the company logo in this sig. But when I click 'Advanced Edit' in the signature edit box, Notepad opens. Notepad is unable to handle image files. How do I change this? I've checked this on the Microsoft site…

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a signature for emails with Outlook. I want to incorporate the company logo in this sig. But when I click 'Advanced Edit' in the signature edit box, Notepad opens. Notepad is unable to handle image files. How do I change this? I've checked this on the Microsoft site (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA011246501033.aspx) Its at step 7 where Notepad opens instead of word. This is wrecking my head!!! Any suggestions..............?

Note : selecting Tools>Options>Mail Format and checking the box for Word has no bearing on the editor used for signatures.

If your default format for new messages is set to plain text, it'll open notepad instead of Word.

Go to Tools > Options > Mail Format

Change "Compose in this message format" to HTML or Rich Text and click Apply.
