Default Shortcut to select email signature file

This should be a relatively simple problem, but I can't seem to find a
solution for it.

I have two different email signatures, a business one and a personal
one.

I would like to have a quick solution, preferably a hotkey, or at least
a first level menu item, to select between them.

Most of the office applications have a "record macro" capability where
you can navigate the menus and other things, and it will create a maco
for you. Outlook (at least Outlook 2002/XP) seems to lack that
capability, and after studying the VBA outlook object model, I can't
seem to figure out what properties to set to accomplish this. (The only
things returned when doing a help search for "signature" have to do
with digital security signatures. Not what I want.)

Anybody done this before, or can give me some help doing it?

Thanks.

Dave H

Use Word as your email editor, set one of those signatures as your default, and you'll be able to right-click it in the message body to choose the other. TIP: Set up a third signature named "blank" and containing no text, so that you can right-click and choose that signature when you want no signature at all in the message.

Thanks, Sue. That is just what I was looking for. I had no idea that
capability was available.
