New imac... problem using Outlook

[surajnangia]

Hi.. just bought my first imac couple of days back.
Also bought Microsoft offive 2011
I have a small problem with using outlook
I work for 2 cos. and therefore need to signatures ...
So i made 2 signatures for the same... but once i write a new mail.. even though i select the 2nd signature.. it still keeps showing the first signature

Having lived through Entourage, tried Outlook, and done all kinds of database repairs, my best advice is to put a bullet through its brain and use Apple's Mail. Outlook for the Mac is different from Outlook for Windows; your prior experience with Outlook for Windows will not really help. Mail is better behaved and much less quirky.

This is an Outlook problem, not an iMac problem.

Regardless...

• Open Outlook Preferences (Outlook from the menu bar, then Preferences...)
• Click Signatures
• Make a mental note of the Signature name of the signature you want as your default.
• Click the Default Signatures... button.
• For the Account you are using, ensure the signature you want is selected for Default signature.

Outlook 2011 signatures for multiple accounts

This is an Outlook problem, not an iMac problem.

Regardless...

• Open Outlook Preferences (Outlook from the menu bar, then Preferences...)
• Click Signatures
• Make a mental note of the Signature name of the signature you want as your default.
• Click the Default Signatures... button.
• For the Account you are using, ensure the signature you want is selected for Default signature.

I have the same issue, two accounts but the signatures won't automatically swap, and the above solution doesn't work. Is there a fix?

I am a Windows Outlook 2007 convert to Gmail webmail to Lion Mail. My advice is switch to Mail, I have 4 accounts setup and 4 different and they all work well. One thing I do miss is the ability to request a mail receipt.
