Author: Kelly Last Modified: 2020-05-20

Let’s say you are going to change a new computer at work. Normally it requires configuring Microsoft Outlook in the new computer again, including the signatures. It must be tedious to create signatures one by one. Actually there is a trick to import the special signatures with logos, images, and hyperlinks that you have created in the old computer. We will show you how to import and export special signatures in Microsoft Outlook easily.


Export signatures from Microsoft Outlook

The signatures in Microsoft Outlook are located in a folder named Signature. Open this folder, and you can copy or cut signatures easily.

1. Open a folder, and enter the %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures in the address box at the top, and then press the Enter key. See the following screen shot:

In the Signature folder, you will see each signature corresponds to three files and one folder: one HTML document, one Rich Text Format document, one Text document, and one file folder. See the following screen shot.

2. In the Signature folder, please select and copy or cut the corresponding three documents and one file folder of each signature that you will export.

3. Paste the copied documents and folders in a destination folder you can find out it easily.
