In the Signature and Stationery window, you can create and manage multiple signatures. Click on the New button to create a new signature for your emails. Enter a name for your signature (e.g., “Work Signature” or “Personal Signature”) and click OK.
Step 4:
Now comes the fun part! In the Edit Signature section, you can design and format your signature to suit your preferences. Here, you can add text, images, hyperlinks, and even format the font styles.
