One of the top 5 \”How to … on Lotus Notes\” searches on Google is \”How to add an email signature in Lotus Notes\”. However, if you click \”search\”, the majority of the results are out-dated and not of much use. So here is a step-by-step tutorial to add that individual signature you\’ve always wanted for your personal emails in Lotus Notes 8.5:

First of all, Lotus Notes 8.5 now allows you to set up email signatures that are not just \”Text-only\”, but provides you with the flexibility to add graphics or any other Rich Text features to really spice things up – so let\’s get to it.

1) Access your Preferences. This can be done via \”File\” or via \”More\” (pictured):

 

2) Select the \”Signature\” tab within Preferences:

 

3) Create your email signature using the Rich Text field manually or you may import it from other programs such as Microsoft Word or an HTML document. You can also insert graphics or attachments, but beware of this option as it will increase the size of your emails dramatically! Tip – Use tables with borders set to 0 to create that perfectly aligned multi-column signature:

 

4) And that\’s it! Now you can select \”Automatically append a signature to the bottom of my outgoing emails\” and whenever you create a new message your email signature will appear in the new message field. Or, you may decide you don\’t want your signature automatically added, then whenever you do want it appended simply select \”More\” and \”Insert Signature…\” Easy!
