    Signature in Yahoo Email
    « on: April 27, 2010, 12:11:36 AM »
    I have put a signature on the bottom of emails I send but this appears in a straight line.
    Some I received have this set at an angle which I prefer.
    How can I get it?
    Thanks

    what do you mean by "at an angle"? Probably the font's just been changed or something.

    Would like a screenshot so I can see what you mean. :)

      Sorry no screenshot, I have deleted email received with it on.
      It's just a silly thing but I like the look of a signature that starts, say, two cm from the bottom of the page and ends three cm from three bottom.
      Not so much an angle as a slope.
      In yahoo, I go into the add signature options but cannot see anywhere which allows me to alter the straight signature which appears to be the default.
      Thanks

      It sounds like some kind of art actually.  You can do the same thing in Word.

        Thanks Quantos.
        I can do this in word but would then have to copy it into each email.

        The signature is created in Yahoo email options as a permanent item at the base of each newly created email but I cannot alter it from the defaut.
        If I get another email with the signature pattern I like I will have to ask the sender how it was created.

        try the following procedure, see if it gets you what you want. I'm using yahoo mail as well. I'm assuming you're using the new mail interface not the classic inferface.

        1). Go to the options where you can make your signature, see following screenshot:

        --> Click on show a signature on all outgoing messages and then click on the rich text link, which I have highlighted with a red box.



        2). Then you should be able to edit the text like you wanted. There you can do the italicized text, etc, those things you can do in Word to edit how the text looks like. See screenshot below:




        Hope this helps, sorry if the images are a little small  :)

          Thanks 2x3i5x.
          This will alter text size, etc., but will not slope the signature.

          Create the signature in Word. Then follow this guide.

          Italicized text not good for you?

            Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions.
            I have tried them but they all go back to the rich text or copy past and this does not give me the desired effect.
            It's nothing serious, just something I would like, rather than a need.
            I have my signature in Italics and all I am hoping to do is 'swing' it a few degrees from the horizontal.
