I have a client using Outlook 2003. He is trying to insert a signature w/ a graphic/logo. Everytime we try to do that in Advanced Editor the signature opens in Notepad as an html file. If we just paste a copy of the signature into the signature area in Outlook - the graphic does not show up. Where can you chagne the default advanced editor so Word will open instead of Notepad?
Thanks!

Actually, it's due to the type of outgoing mail is set to. If it's HTML then the signature editor will open with the default HTML editor (notpad), if you have Frontpage, it should open in Frontpage.
If you set the outgoing e-mail to Rich or Plain text, then word will open as the advanced signature editor.
To check that setting go to TOOLS then OPTIONS and it's at the top of the MAIL FORMAT tab, labeled as "Compase in this message format"
Hope this helps.
