I am trying to control the position of the Outlook 2003 signature. My
signature contains a personal block (name, address, website) and a privacy
disclaimer.

I have long thought that putting the privacy disclaimer at the bottom of an
email was dumb. It should be right at the top of the message.

I would like to have the signature applied so that the disclaimer butts
right up against the top of the page, then there is a space where the cursor
fits (automatically) followed by my personal block.

Any idea how this can be achieved?

thanks

Stationery, perhaps, but a signature is a unitary object. There's no
"floating space" in the middle of it. You can obviously add a signarture
that has a disclaimer at the top, followed by a few blank lines, followed by
your personal block, but then you'll have to manually position the insertion
point in the middle and add your text there. A mail message has no
structure. There's no "top of page" and "bottom of page". You can resize
the composition window any way you want. How is your signature code
supposed to allow for that?
 
Hi Brian. Thanks for taking the time.

It seems that Outlook already positions the signature. When I do the
standard signature:

toplefthandcorner
<cursor>

Name
Company, etc.

Disclaimer

Outlook places the cursor right in the top left hand corner of the message
and I can start writing right away. Why, then, could Outlook not do it this
way:

toplefthandcorner
disclaimer

<cursor>

Name
Company, etc.

Seems like a no-brainer to me.
