When I create a signature in Outlook 2003, and I click on advanced Edit, it opens it Word and lets me edit the signature. When using the signature, if the email type is html, I get a message saying that the current security setting prohibit running an activeX control on the page. I click ok, and get what looks like a small text box above the signature, which I then delete. The problem doesn't happen if I don't use the advanced edit to create the signature. It is also not a problem if the email is created in rtf or plain text. This is apparently a new problem as I just updated to Outlook 2003. I can change my new emails to another format than HTML and not have a problem, however, we use digital signatures at the office and the process of digitally signing an email converts the email to html, so I have the problem every time I try and reply or forward an email. Has anyone else run into this problem.
