Adding an E-mail Signature to Your E-mail

E-mails that are send out customarily have a signature at the bottom. But did you know that you can add them automatically to your E-mail without have to type anything? Did you know that you can create an electronic business card with all your business information at the end of the E-mail?

 

Well how do you add a signature? I will explain how to do this in Outlook 2007. If you have a different E-mail program, the setup will be similar.

 

In the Menu Bar at the top of the Outlook program, select the word Tools. From the drop down list that results, select Options. From the Options dialogue box, select the Mail Format tab at the top. In the Signature section, select Signatures button. From the Signatures and Stationary dialogue box, select the New Button. Now type how you want your signature to appear in the blank box below. Select Save and click on OK. Select OK in the Options dialogue box. Now open up a new E-mail to send to someone and the signature will be there at the bottom.

 

There are more fancy things you can do, but try this and see how you do.

Be Careful What You Write - They Can Not See Your Face

With the Internet comes tremendous ability to quickly communicate with those around you, despite the distance. Unfortunately others can not see your face or catch your tone unless you are using video conferencing, for example. So you have to rely on text and how you put your words together to get your intended meaning across.

 

For example, all CAPITALS in an E-mail means you are screaming or upset. You could actually hit the CAPS lock on the keyboard and start typing in CAPITALS. You may say, what's the problem - I won't fix this, and send the message as is. Yet the receiver may think you are in a sour mood or worse, mad at them.

 

You have to be careful when you are joking so the the receiver knows that you are actually joking. Things like putting LOL (laugh out loud) or a smiley face :) can help the receiver know that this is meant to be funny.

 

So be careful how you type so that the receiver does not get the wrong idea.

General Anti-virus PopUp

I was going to a web page from my G-mail service when everything went crazy. Pop ups were telling me I am infected and that I need to install General Anti-virus to get out of this mess. Well General Anti-virus is malware. That's bad software that is harmful to your computer. So what did I do to get out of this mess?

 

Well I certainly did not click on any buttons in the pop up windows. No OK or Cancel buttons. I used the Task Manager to shut these pop ups down one at a time and it was a battle to close them. To open the Task Manager: right mouse click on the Task Bar at the bottom of the computer screen to select Task Manager. From there select the Applications Tab. I found the program(s) I needed to shut down, left clicked it and then clicked End Task. I had to do this several times to shut down all pop ups. Now I am scanning the laptop for what might be left over. Being click happy is not what was required at that moment.

 

If this happens to you, think before you click. Do not panic. And don't click on any buttons in the pop up windows. Under no circumstances download General Anti-virus.

 

I will post a follow up on what I found or did not find.
