Use HTML code in your signature and enter it as below.

An example :

* If an answer has helped you, please mark as 'accepted solution' This helps other members with the same problem *

* If an answer has helped you, please mark as 'accepted solution' This helps other members with the same problem *

for italics:

* If an answer has helped you, please mark as 'accepted solution' This helps other members with the same problem *

* If an answer has helped you, please mark as 'accepted solution' This helps other members with the same problem *

Choose whichever =colour you want...red, green, blue etc.

Just put this before your sig

and this straight after it

Change the word "red" for whatever colour you want

& chucking it at the open window

Oh no @Anonymous you mustn't do that. We would miss you. First thing - wherever you have typed your code could you highlight it and copy it, then reply to this message and paste into your reply the text that you copied. We can then examine it and make sure it is ok. If it is then we need to check where you are trying to insert it, and consider exactly what error message you are getting.

Do not despair, you will get there in the end!

I'd like red for the *accept as solution ... * bit

& then if that was successful

I would have gone for bright blue for the 2 latin quotes

Just copy and paste this into your signature @Anonymous :

*if this has helped you then you can mark it as 'solution accepted' it will then help others with a similar problem*

*possum si vollo* *per ardua ad astra*

Copy and paste is the same as in word. Highlight and right click....

Re: Signature in colour & itallic

jonsie — Fri, 27 Jun 2014 21:07:04 GMT

It has to be spelt 'color'....damn yanks! (no offence to any of our American friends across the pond!):smileyhappy:

ps. just highlight the text with the mouse, right click and choose copy. Then when you want to paste it into your signatue, just right click the mouse again and choose paste.

I am assuming you use some version of WIndows on your laptop.

To select text:-

1. move the mouse pointer to the start of the words you want to copy

2. click and hold down the left mouse button and drag the mouse to the end of the last word you want to copy. The words should now be highlighted

3. Click right mouse button and you should see a new menu with a list of words on it. Click on the word COPY

4. Move your mouse pointer to wherever you want to paste the text and click the right mouse button, This time select and click on the word PASTE

Hopefully the words you wanted to copy will now appear exactly where you want them.

Let us know how you get on.
