How To Add Signature In Microsoft Outlook

If you are tired of typing your contact information in Outlook everytime you type up an email, here is a tip that will help you with that. I’m using Outlook 2007 as an example and it’s basically the same for all versions of Outlook.

Once logged in to Outlook, go to Tools in the Top Menu & select Options.

In the Options panel, click on the tab labeled Mail Format and select the box that says Signatures. Your panel should now look like this:

Example of Signature Panel

You will be clicking on New to add a signature on the panel above. It will ask you to name it. If you see in my example above, I created two signatures.

One is my MAIN signature which goes on every new email I send.

The second is a REPLY signature that is used whenever I reply to an email.

I do this because I don’t want my main signature every time I reply. My reply signature has only my name on it. It’s good email etiquette, you don’t want you main signature all over the place. Especially on those emails you go back and forth with the sender. It can make it difficult to read.

You have the options of adding a picture, a link and to format the text as you wish. Always remember that simple is better.

Make sure to set your defaults on the right side as shown on the example. Those options designate which signatures you want Outlook to use for the specific tasks I mentioned above.

Now, every time you type up a new message your customized signature will automatically appear.

I Jailbroke My iPhone 3G

After much internal debate on whether I should Jailbrake my iPhone 3G or not, I took the plunge on Sunday. You may wonder why I had not done it already? I don’t know if it’s just me, but every set of instructions I read were to complicated or risky. Simply not worth the hassle. When I’m unsure of something technical, I usually just wait.

A friend of mine emailed me the Gizmodo Post on instructions on how to do this. I read them over and they were the first instructions that seemed simple enough to make me do it.

It took me a few downloads and restarts on my iMac and I was ready to run QuickPwn for Mac OS X. After about 10 minutes the iPhone rebooted and I started loading programs on Cydia. A weird feeling of betrayal comes over you for a second. Then you start using programs you’ve been missing and you feel like Neo from The Matrix. Jailbrake = Unplugged! Why has Apple or AT&T decided to keep us from these basic features you find on every other phone?

The final process of the Jailbrake

The #1 reason I Jailbroke my iPhone was for video capabilities. (Come on Apple! Probably AT&T…) The first programs I installed were Qik and Cycorder. Both programs are just what I was missing from my iPhone. Instant satisfaction!

I played around with other applications like Snapture, which I will purchase, and Winterboard. I like some of the features of Winterboard but I don’t want my iPhone looking like a MySpace page. So I kept my default Springboard.

I also tried the Cut & Paste application called Clippy. Although it’s in Beta, it works remarkably well. (Again, Come on Apple!)

This comic describes how I feel about my improved iPhone:

Before you start passing judgment, I also Jailbroke my wife’s iPhone and she loves that she can now play her childhood’s favorite game Mario Bros and record her dog Cochi playing around.

For now I am happy with the 4 apps on my Jailbroken iPhone. I haven’t seen any lag or experienced any crashes on my iPhone. If you are debating whether to Jailbrake or not, the Gizmodo post is easy and harmless. I encourage you to try it. In keeping with the Matrix theme, Morpheus compares it “to trying to free your mind.”

Make sure you run a new back-up on iTunes of your iPhone before trying this. Worst comes to worse, you can ALWAYS RESTORE.

New Copy Procedure

NEW THIS YEAR:

1) Please use the Copy Request forms at all times. This makes it so much easier for us. You can always download them ahead of time by visiting http://www.pueblowarriors.org/av

2) When submitting your order, please attach your name tag to your order. If you don’t have one, new and returning teachers, I will be making you one this week so that you don’t feel left out.

Place your Name Tag on copy order.

3) Make sure to fill out completely, you’d be surprised how many forget to write down the amount of copies needed.

4) When you pick up your copies, make sure to remove your tag and place in your departments slot and color code.

Return Name Tags to tray.

We always try to save paper! Please THINK BEFORE YOUR COPY! Write it on the board, use a transparency, LCD projector, limit single sided copies, 2 on sheet and class sets. (More tips on website)

How Do I Get Copies?

Teachers and Student Aide’s are not permitted use of Copy Machines. Only Teacher Assistants and A/V Aides are allowed use of machines.

WHAT WE CAN’T COPY

We are not allowed to duplicate copyrighted material. That means no books, workbooks and magazines in general. (With Few Exceptions) Please provide a hard copy of the material to expedite the order.

To keep the machine in working order, requests with dark pictures and edges will be returned so they can be covered or cut. Such dark pictures and edges wear out the fuser and consume more dry ink. This is the number one cause of machine failure.

HOW TO MAKE OUR JOB EASIER

Please keep your copy orders simple by avoiding bulky packets and limiting yourself to 1-4 sheets per job. This cuts back on machine wear and tear. We understand that packets will be needed from time to time. Longer turn-around time on orders bigger than four pages.

When submitting your order, you must use ”Official Copy Request”. Paper clip your form to your originals along with your name tag. Orders with out proper form will be returned incomplete.

Have your originals in good condition. You may want to retype some originals or recopy some maps that have started to fade.

Sometimes a small part of your work goes to a third sheet when using normal margins in Microsoft Word. By adjusting your margins you make better use of a full sheet. You can also decrease your font size by one to make it fit.

When you pick up order, please return your name tag to tray.

HELP US SAVE PAPER

Before submitting your order ask yourself:

• Can I write it on the board?
• Can I use an overhead sheet?
• Can I use my LCD projector?
• Did I fill out the Request Form properly?
• Can I put two on a page?
• Can I run a class set only?

Our policy is not to compromise your teaching techniques. All we ask is that you be more conscientious about your copying needs. Thank you for your cooperation and patience! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
