![]() ![]() Even if you paste a few lines of nice clean HTML into it, Word won’t be able to help itself from adding hundreds of lines of MS Office gobbledygook to the HTML. Why? If you’re interested in the tech details: I don’t know the full answer, but it is basically because Outlook uses MS Word as it’s editor, and Word is famously very bad at generating HTML. …But for some very strange reason Outlook, an email program that has been around since the beginning of time makes a bit more difficult. You simply go the aforementioned webpage with the signature, select all (ctrl+A), copy then paste it into Gmail. To take that signature and install on most webmail clients like Gmail it’s easy. The benefits of this are twofold: 1 it’s easily accessible, and 2 any images in the signature are hosted online and will be downloaded from here by those receiving your emails. When these are designed and approved, we deliver the shiny end product by conveniently putting the HTML on a blank web page. Having a great-looking signature is important for the consistent application of your brand, and as such iCreate regularly creates email signatures for our clients. This article is both for iCreate clients as a how-to guide, and anyone else that is having difficulting with HTML Signatures vs Outlook and stumbles across this tech tip.
