Outlook Signature
 

I'm running Office Outlook 2003 Pro Sp2.

In the Microsoft Visual Basic Editor, how do I get a signature name property
that's already been entered and saved under Outlook Tools|Options|Mail
FormatSignatures?

Outlook's object model doesn't provide you with any Signature objects. But
you can use Word's model, please see EmailSignature object in Object Browser
for its proeprties.

Hi Michael,

I couldn't get Word to start using the following code from Outlook. What am
I missing?
Set wrdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add()

I also couldn't figure out how to retrieve the value in the
EmailOptions.EmailSignature entry called *PickUpMailSig" from within Word.

So I created an AutoTextEntry so I can insert the signatu

returnValue =
wrdApp.Activedocument.AttachedTemplate.AutotextEnt ries("*PickUpMailSig").Value

But the above code only works when Word is already opened. But when Word is
not opened, it doesn't work.

Any thoughts?

First try GetObject. If that fails then Word isn't running and you can
launch it with CreateObject.

Hi Michael,

I tried the following and Word still doesn't launch. Any other thoughts?

Set wrdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If wrdApp Is Nothing Then
Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add()
End If

Do you catch the error caused by GetObject with 'On Error Resume Next'? Then
for sure your code launches Word but the document isn't visible. you could
make it visible with wrdApp.Visible=true

Hi Michael,

Thanks for wrdApp.Visible=true. That showed me when Word is running and
when it isn't.
Apparently the signature I'm trying to retrieve from Word only works if I
launch another Word session.
Even if there's a Word session opened, the following statement could not
retrieve the signature I called *PickUpMailsig:

wrdApp.Activedocument.AttachedTemplate.AutotextEnt ries("*PickUpMailSig").Value

So now my code looks like this with the GetObject statement commented out:
' Launch Word application
' Set wrdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
If wrdApp Is Nothing Then
Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Add()
End If
returnValue =
wrdApp.Activedocument.AttachedTemplate.AutotextEnt ries("*PickUpMailSig").Value

Thanks again for your help.

Paul
