   1. To maintain formatting, make sure you copy the entire template, even if you don't want to use certain elements in the signature.
   2. Remove unwanted elements from the template.
   3. Replace placeholders with your own professional information (name, title, program or department, phone number etc).
   4. Do not add personal information unrelated to your professional appointment.

   5. To replace a logo in one of the templates with another approved Michigan Medicine logo:

      1. Click next to the image you want to replace.
      2. Click the photo icon in the formatting bar and choose your desired image.
      3. Delete the template image.
      4. Doing it in this order (rather than deleting first and then inserting your photo) will help make sure the photo winds up in the correct place.

      NOTE: Only approved logos from the Michigan Medicine logo downloads page should be used as a logo in your email signature.

Additional notes:

1. Always test your signature by sending an email to yourself to ensure everything appears correctly.
2. Use the default font in Outlook. Do not use decorative or other fonts that may be difficult to read.
3. Avoid adding other colors, images, textures or patterns.
4. Avoid adding tag lines or quotes to your email signature, as they may be perceived as officially representing the university. To learn more about creating and using signatures in Outlook, go to Create and add an email signature in Outlook.
