Greyed out signature options

**Ron** · January 25th 07, 01:51 AM posted to microsoft.public.outlook

I have a problem with my Outlook 2003 where the option to select a signature
is "greyed out". I cannot edit the settings from within Word 2003. Is
there a registry setting where I can reestablish this option? Has anyone
seen this happen before? It is not a user policy problem. Thanks in
advance.

Bernard.

If you uncheck Word as the editor in Outlook's Mail Format Options, you will regain the option to create, edit and delete signatures.

Still "Greyed Out" in both Outlook and in Word's email section under Tools.
Any other thoughts?

I had same problem. Cure for me was to Run Detect & Repair from the Office
2003 CD. If you run Setup.exe from you Office 2003 CD you there's and option
for Detect and Repair. This is the 2nd time this problem has happened to me.
