Yeah, I don't use Word as my email editor, but when I'm modifying my
signature, if you click on advanced edit, it opens the signature in Word for
modification. I wouldn't even send email as html if the digital signature
didn't convert all the emails to html. In Outlook 2002, for html emails, it
used to open the signature in Frontpage to edit, but now it opens it in
Word.
Again, thanks for the help.

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.
