In written correspondence, most people sign their letters. With electronic messages, you can add a signature too, although it's a bit different. Most e-mail programs these days let you insert a signature file at the bottom of the message. It can be anything from a clever quote to some additional information about you, such as your title, company, phone number and website address. If you're creative, use the characters on your keyboard to make a unique design. Once you create a signature file, your e-mail program will insert it automatically, instead of you having to retype it with each message. If you send a lot of e-mail, this saves time and keystrokes. Creating A Signature File Most e-mail programs work similarly, so we'll show you how to do this using Microsoft Outlook. Under the Tools menu, click on Options. When the dialog box opens, click on the Mail Format tab, then click the Signatures button at the bottom. Next, click the New button.
