Hi Ray, Marlaina, and Others, I created signatures with VoiceOver drag and drop some time ago, so I haven't experimented with this, but I've pulled up an old post from the archives from nearly a year ago on this topic: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg16253.html
It describes a few options, including an old post that Anne wrote detailing how to use VoiceOver drag and drop for this. I haven't tried the Snow Leopard text expansion method I describe there. I'll just point out that anyone who has SmileOnMyMac's TextExpander application can also define their own snippets that expand into multiple lines of text (if needed) -- which could be multiple lines of a signature, part of a form letter, etc. I have an older version of TextExpander, which I didn't upgrade, because I was told the older preference pane for,at is more accessible. I also use this for typing accented words, names, and text in other languages, and for syncing to the (separate) TextExpander app on my iPod Touch -- where simplifying keyboard entry was more of an issue. It's a bit special purpose, but you could wait for their next sale if you would find this general expansion useful. Then you could type your snippet definition for a signature (e.g., "ssig" -- "sig" with an extra "s" in front), and have it expand to three or four lines of your signature and contact information. HTH. Cheers, Esther On Dec 22, 11:31 am, Ray Foret Jr <[email protected]> wrote: > Signatures does tend to be very nasty bug wise.
