Creating an email signature in Outlook #

To create a standard signature for the bottom of all your outgoing emails:

1. Click New Message, and then Insert in the New message window.
2. Click Signature - Signatures.
3. In the window that to opens, click New 
4. Create your signature, and then OK

Best practice is to include your full name, title, department, and the telephone numbers at which both internal and external callers can reach you.  

Examples #

Your NTNU affiliation must be clearly visible in an acceptable way in all job-related emails. Don't stop with the name of your research group or the department where you work. The receipient of your email may not be familiar with the university. The university's full name should be written out.

By adding a link to your employee page, those you correspond with can easily find information about you and your group.

Use a shorter signature for replies and forwards #

You can create as many signatures as you want. Consider setting up a shorter alternate signature that can be used for replies and forwards, particularly for internal correspondence.
