Email signature not showing on replies in Outlook
Outlook has a setting that controls whether signatures show on replies. Your signature is set up but the reply setting is off. Go to Outlook Preferences on Mac or Outlook Options on Windows, find Signatures, and turn on the setting to use your signature on replies.
Email signatures in Outlook have separate settings for new messages versus replies. If the reply setting isn't turned on, your signature won't appear when you click Reply. Checking the signature settings and making sure both new messages and replies are enabled fixes most cases. If the setting is on but still doesn't work, the signature file can be corrupted.
- ✓Have Outlook open and ready
- ✓Know whether this is a Mac or Windows computer
- ✓Make sure you're signed in with the email account that has the signature
