The HTML version might be preferable, as the HTML can be edited in the future if the formatting needs to be tweaked for some reason.īut it would be simpler to get the “clipboard from Chrome” method working. Is there a reason the “pure clipboard” version from Chrome can paste into the signature window, but a paste-copy-paste is treated differently?Īlternatively, how about the HTML version? How do I then import it into the Mail signature editor? Is there a way to do it WITHOUT bothering with ~/Library/Mail/V_/Maildata/Signatures/ files? It pastes into a new message body just fine, but not the signature window, which I suspect is trying to re-format on paste? Make sure in Composing preferences in Outlook for Mac that you also have it set to use HTML as the default for new emails or.
What if I need it on another machine? It pastes into TextEdit (or in the body of a new mail message), seemingly preserving all of the formatting, links etc.īut the Mail Signature window in BigSur seems to strip out links on img when the copy from TextEdit is then copied and pasted in the signature window. Create your signature as you want it to look in Word first then copy it in as HTML (paste and select the option to copy as HTML) and take a look at the preview and it will be the same. This page covers the clipboard method on the same machine as the webpage is running on.
