4. In the Enter a name for your new signature box, enter a name.

5. Under Choose how to create your signature, select the option you want. For Help on an option, click the question mark, and then click the option.

In the Signature text box, type the text you want to include in the signature. (The preferred type style is 14 pt. Times New Roman). Helpful hint: Using soft returns at the end of each line of your signature (shift key + return) may help assure that the font you choose for your signature is the same font that recipients see when they receive your email. The last three lines should be the same on all signatures:

(You can simply paste in the last three lines from another Centre employee's signature, or from another document.   Also, if you want to be fancy, you can make the "Cs" 16 point type for a "big-cap/little cap" style.)

7. To change the paragraph or font format, select the text, click Font or Paragraph, and then select the options you want. These options are not available if you use plain text as your message format.
