Unfortunately, the BEST solution to this type of problem is to NOT use Word
as your email editor. It has problems in several areas, so most power users
don't bother with it cos' it's more problem than it's worth.

Dian,
Thanks, that worked, although I pretty much had to turn smart tags off
in Word to get it to stop. It was adding a smart tag to my name. One
interesting side effect was that after turning off the smart tags, it
then double spaced my signature. I would up using shift-enter at the
end of each line rather than just enter to get it to single space. =20
The thing we honest folks have to do sometimes.
Thanks for the help.

You can thank spammers and virus hackers for this added security.
I'm not sure this will fix your problem, but give it a shot. In Word,
click Tools > Options > General > E-mail Options > General...uncheck the
box for Save Smart Tags in Email.=20

Subject: [mso] Creating Signature in Outlook 2003
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.

Thanks,
