Outlook 2007: How to Add a Hyperlink to a Signature

See Outlook 2007: Creating a Signature for the steps to create a signature. Here are the steps to add a hyperlink to that signature.

1. Edit an existing signature or create a new signature by creating a new mail message, then in the Message tab, Include group, click Signature then click Signatures. Choose the signature to edit or create the new signature.
2. In the Edit signature area, move your cursor to where the hyperlink should go or select the text for the link.



3. Click the Insert Hyperlink button on the toolbar in the Edit signature area.
4. Make sure that the Link to: column has Existing File or Web Page selected.

There are basically two parts to a hyperlink: the text that displays and the actual address it links to.

5. The display text can be anything you want, and can be typed in the Text to display: box. If you selected text in the signature to use for the hyperlink, it will say <>.
6. You can type or copy and paste the address into the Address: box. Copy and paste is much more accurate and efficient for this: go to the web page you want to link to. Click in the address bar, the the entire address should become highlighted. Push Ctrl + C to copy it. Switch to the Insert Hyperlink box, click in the Address: box, push Ctrl + V to paste the address.



7. Click OK to finish with inserting the hyperlink, and OK to finish editing the signature.

Test your link to be sure it works by starting a new email, inserting the signature, and clicking the link to follow it.
