We highly recommend assigning a signature to all accounts in Outlook 2003 (with Word as the editor), Outloko 2007, and Outlook 2010. This will allow the signtures to change when you change the account.

If the account doesn’t need a signature, assign a blank signature to it. To do so, create a blank signature that contains 2 dashes ( — ) to use when you don't want to use a signature. When no signature is assigned to an account the signature feature is completely removed from the message and changing accounts will not update the signature.

Outlook 2010

Provided you have assigned a signature to the currently selected account, Outlook 2010 will change the signature when you select a different account from the Account dropdown

Go to File, Options, Mail format, Signatures to create new signatures and assign them to each account in your profile.

Outlook 2007

Provided you have assigned a signature to the currently selected account, Outlook 2007 will change the signature when you select a different account from the Account dropdown

Go to Tools, Options, Mail format, Signatures to create new signatures and assign them to each account in your profile.

Outlook 2003

When you use Word as your email editor, Outlook 2003 will change the signature when you select a different account from the Account dropdown.

Go to Tools. Options, Mail format, Signatures to create new signatures and assign them to each account in your profile. Create a blank signature that contains 2 dashes ( — ) to use when you don't want to use a signature. When no signature is assigned to an account the signature feature is completely removed from the message and changing accounts will not update the signature.

Outlook 98 or 2000

In these versions of Outlook, you can create as many signatures as you like:

1. Choose Tools | Options | Mail Format.
2. Click Signature Picker.
3. Create the new signature.
4. Repeat as needed

To insert a signature, either click the Signature button on the toolbar, or choose Insert | Signature.

If you use WordMail, you can create multiple AutoText entries to insert different signatures.

Outlook 97

Use multiple Outlook templates or forms, each with a different signature. Use Compose | Choose Form or Choose Template to pick the one you want to use to compose the message.

If you use WordMail, you can have a different autosignature in each different .dot template you devise. Switch between them with Tools | Options | E-mail | Template.
