Outlook 2003 and 2007 Signature

Did you know...

You can create a signature for your Outlook e-mail messages that will show up every time you start a new e-mail or reply or forward a message?

Here's how...

To create a signature in Outlook:

  • Click on Tools
  • Click on Options
  • Click on Mail Format
  • Click on Signatures
  • Click on New…
  • Give it a name so you can find it later if you need
  • Click on Next
  • Enter the text and signature you want

In Outlook 2003

  • Click on Finish
  • Click on OK
  • In the box next to Signature for new messages be sure the signature you just created is listed there. If you want the signature to show up on replies or forwarded messages as well, be sure it is in that box too.

In Outlook 2007

  • In the same window where you created the signature you have a box to put the options in


  • Be sure the signature you want is showing in each of the appropriate boxes. You can have one signature for new messages and another for replies and forwards. Notice my signature for new messages is "With sig" and my reply or forwarded messages signature is "Sandi." They are two different signatures.

Now, each time you start a new e-mail message the signature you chose will be there. If you don’t want the whole signature, you can delete it from the message. It is just text in the message and can be edited like any other text in the message.

Give it a try.

Microsoft Word 2003 or 2007 Table Columns

Did you know...

If you have a column in a table that goes off the edge of the page, there is a simple way to get it back on the page?

See how the column disappears off the right side of the page?


Here is what you do...

1. Put the cursor right above the column you need to get back onto the page until you get a little black down arrow.


2. Now, put the cursor between the last two columns until you get the little resizing arrow. It is a double line with an arrow pointing left and an arrow pointing right. DOUBLE CLICK.


The last column now fits on the page.


Give it a try.

Excel 2003 and 2007 -- Edit formulas

Did you know...

You can edit formulas in 2 different places?

Anything you enter into a cell will show up not only in the cell, but also in the formula bar. Here is a picture of a formula entered into a cell and showing in both the cell and the formula bar. The result is in the cell the formula is in the formula bar.


If you look at the formula bar (next to the fx) you will see the actual formula. If you look in the cell you see the results.

Now, if you double click in the cell you will get a blinking cursor and be able to edit your formula right in the cell. It will look like this:


If you double click in the formula bar (next to the x √ fx) you will get a blinking cursor there and you will be able to edit in that box as well.

Give it a try.
