Hello newsgroup,

I've three different signatures in Outlook and would like to insert it
in an easy way. I think of three buttons which I could click when I
write an email. Is it possible to add a text into a mail on the actual
position?

Thx for any ideas and maybe code samples ;)

Greetz from Hamburg,
Harry

Since Outlook already has commands to do this, is there a particular reason you want to duplicate that functionality? Regardless, your Outlook version and whether you're using WordMail as the editor would be key factors.

I've got two textfiles on a network share, where the actual Signature (a
short and long) is in. The signatures often changes (4-6 times/month)
and the users had to actualize their signatures by hand - not very
practical.

The easiest way I see, is to a add two buttons in the Outlook Form,
which read the text from the files and add it to the email.

We are using Outlook 2003 and both - Wordmail and not Wordmail.

Best regards,
Harry

The simplest approach in that case would be to write your code using the SafeInspector object from the Redemption library (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/). Alternatively, you can try copying the test to the Windows clipboard, then automating a Paste in Outlook using CommandBars (see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/tips/commandbarfun.htm) but I've had mixed results with that technique and wouldn't recommend it.

If it were my project, I might think about pushing out .txt, .rtf, and .htm versions of the signatures to the users' Signatures folders and letting them use Outlook's built-in signature features.
