Tickers: MS Outlook

Outlook and Outlook Express require a 2-step process for creating signatures.

First, you need to set up an external HTML file with your ticker code saved inside.

Copy the code below to Windows Notepad:

<br />
<a href="http://www.babysfirstsite.com"><img src="http://www.babysfirstsite.org/newtickers/ticker/xxxxx.birthday.png" border="0" /></a>

Change the xxxxx to your unique ticker ID number (you can find this in your ticker code). Then, make sure the ticker type is correct for the ticker you'd like to display (birthday, birthdue, sigmaker). Save the file as sig.html.


In Outlook:

1. Go to Tools --> Options
2. Choose the "Mail Format" tab
3. Choose "HTML" in the "send in this message format" drop-down box.
4. Click "Stationery Picker"
5. Click "New"
6. Under #1 - Enter a name for your signature.
7. Under #2 - Select "use this file as a template"
8. Click "browse" and locate and double-click the sig.html file that you saved previously.
9. click "Next", then click OK.
