Truncated Signature for Replies/Forwards

Outlook for Mac does not have a setting to select different signatures for new emails vs. replies. You can create a secondary signature and manually select it for replies/forwards if you wish.

• Follow the directions above and create a new signature. Delete the images to leave only your name and title.

• When sending a reply, select the "Signatures" box and click on the "replies/forwards" signature
