Los modos de relación sensible y su revaloración para el desarrollo de las

When it comes to an electronic signature, you can use either a signature at the bottom of each message, or attach a business card, or use both. You can have several signatures and business cards and choose from among them when you send messages, or you can have defaults.

You will need to create a Contact for yourself before creating a business card or “vCard” and will do that in the Contacts section of this document.

To create signatures:

1.

Press Alt + F, T for File/Backstage area, Options.

2.

Once the Outlook Options dialog opens, press M to move to the Mail category then

press Tab to move into the Mail options.

3.

Press Alt + N to move to the Signatures button.

4.

Press Enter to open the Signatures dialog.

When the Signature dialog opens, your focus is on the OK button. Press Alt + N to move to the New Signature button if you don’t have a signature yet. If you do, you can press Tab three times to move to the list of available signatures. This will give you the opportunity to edit any of them.

If you press Alt + n for a New signature, a small dialog opens where you can give the signature a name. For example, I might call my signature Karlen.

When you create a new signature, the dialog changes, the new signature is added to the list and you can now make some decisions about the signature.

Figure 47 New signature dialog.

The dialog has the list of signatures in the upper left, the following list boxes in the upper right followed by a set of tools that include font, font size, formatting and alignment and the lower half of the dialog has the edit area where you can type the signature information.

Press Alt + A to use the new signature for a specific account.

Press Alt + M to use the signature for new messages from that account. This is a drop down list with none and any signature’s you’ve created listed. You can use first character navigation to open the list and move to a specific signature.

Press Alt + F to use the signature when replying or forwarding messages. This is a drop down list with none and any signature’s you’ve created listed. You can use first character navigation to open the list and move to a specific signature.

Once you’ve decided which account your signature will be used on and whether it will be used for new messages only or for messages you reply to or forward, press Tab to move through each of the

formatting options such as font, font size, bold, italic, underline, alignment, adding images or links and finally to the edit area of the signature dialog where you can add some content.

JAWS will tell you this is not an Outlook edit box or area but ignore this. You can add edit information in the signature. There is no keyboard command to quickly move to the edit area unless you move from the OK button backward. So it is a judgement once you choose a signature to edit which way you get to the edit area.

You have to keep using Shift + Tab back through the formatting tools if you want to add different formatting to your signature.

One piece of advice when creating a signature for e-mail is that if you are using that signature for accounts where you send mail to lists or discussion groups, your contact/signature information will be added to your post. If you don’t want a lot of spam it is a good idea not to put too much specific information into the signature.

You can add an image to a signature, however, choose the image size wisely. In the sample where I used an image from the sample images that come with the computer, I could not resize the images even if using the mouse and getting the resizing handles around the image.

Once you have finished creating or editing your signature, press Alt + S to Save it. You cannot save a signature until you create it and add some content to it. Until that point, the Save button is not available.

I haven’t found a way to add Alt Text to images in signatures. If you are concerned about accessibility it might be a better approach to create a new e-mail template or Theme and use it when you want to. If you want to go back and edit a signature, press Alt + F, T, go to the Mail category, Tab into the Mail options, press Alt + N for Signature and then locate the signature you want to edit in the list. Tab to the edit area and make any changes you need.

Once you create a signature, you can press Alt + D to Delete it, Alt + R to Rename it, Alt + S to Save any changes or Alt + N to create a New signature.

If you choose to have one default signature, each time you compose a message, the signature will be inserted automatically in the body of the message

If you want to choose when you add a signature, press Alt + N, A, S for Insert Ribbon, Add Signature when in the body of a new e-mail message.
