Creating a Business Card Signature in Outlook 2007

I’ve been using Plaxo for awhile now and one of the features I liked about it was a custom signature that it would build for you inside of your Outlook application. Did you know that with Outlook 2007 you can create your own business card type signature?
It’s very easy to create a signature file within Outlook 2007 that you can append to any of your messages automatically or as needed when you desire.
From my example above I created a quick one to be used as a basic business response email whenever I respond back to someone. I could also create one for my personal email address too.
The key is to just have a contact card added in your address book with the information you want to use in the signature.
In Outlook 2007, go to Tools > Options and then to the "Mail Format" tab and look for the section labeled signature.
Follow these steps:
- Choose to add "New" signature
- Select the Business Card from your address book you want to use
- Specify when and how to use the signature
That’s all there is to it. A quick and easy way to put a face and all your contact information with your first impression by email.
