How to Add Signature in Outlook

Whenever we write an email we put our name, address or other details at the end of the email. Many of you may have seen very beautiful, coloured and stylish handwritten texts or images at the end of email. These are email signatures which makes the email identified.

Signature in Outlook and why it is important?

As a port of Microsoft Office, Outlook is a personal information manager widely used for sending

and receiving emails. Whereas, signature in outlook, is a personalized block of rich text/images, which makes an email more presentable and easy to share. It saves lots of time of an email sender in terms of avoiding repeated information every time.
For example: If an Outlook user mentions name, occupation and contact details every time for a new email, he/she can save these information through signature in outlook, in the form of text/images to avoid typing the same information each time.
