Adding a signature to your Outlook account makes signing off your emails with your name, title and contact information quick and easy. Here’s how to do it.
You can play around with different fonts, colours, links and images to create your signature, and set it to appear at the bottom of every email you send or just the first message you send in a thread. Alternatively, you can choose to manually add your signature from right within the New Message window.
However, Outlook will only allow you to keep one signature on your account at a time, so make sure you’re happy with it when you hit save.

Troubleshooting
To automatically add your Outlook signature to forwarded messages and replies, all you need to do is head into the ‘Compose And Reply’ section and tick the box that says ‘Automatically include my signature on messages I forward or reply to’.
If you’d prefer to add your signature to messages manually, first make sure both the ‘Automatically include my signature on new messages I compose’ and ‘Automatically include my signature on messages I forward or reply to’ in ‘Compose And Reply’ are unchecked.
Then go to your new message, click the three dots and click ‘Insert signature’ to add your signature.
