Mighty all, here’s an interesting bug (feature?) in Outlook 2007 I’ve recently spotted:

 

If you create a meeting\appointment by typing its subject onto a selected time slot in your calendar, then open it (and optionally add participants) “Signature” button on the “Insert” ribbon is not visible.

 

Does anyone has a clue if this is a feature or yet another “oh yes, looks like we can reproduce it, file change request, we see what can be done” type of “cosmetical” glitch?

 

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Hi Alex,

 

Are you creating appointments/meetings the same way each time?

 

In Outlook, click New Items from the Home tab > click Appointments.

 

Then, click Insert tab, can you see the Signature button and the signatures there?

 

Best Regards,

Sally, hi

If I create a new meeting in any other way than I have discribed in the top post, the "signture" menu exists and I'm able to add signatures.

 

Kind regards,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Hi,

I am experiencing the same issue.  I also would like to point out that Sally isn't answering the problem but rather relying on alternate means of creating meetings.

Here is the experience I'm going through as a user:

1- I need to create a meeting following an email that I received

2- I drag the email to my calendar button

3- a meeting request gets automatically generated with the content of the email appearing in the body of the invite

4- Unfortunately, when using this process, the signature insert command in the ribbon is not visible.  So I end up creating a blank email and copy/pasting my signature into my meeting invite.

Now, I know I could create my meetings using a different method, but the one I described is the most practical for me to use.

The question is:

- is this a known bug?

- when is it getting fixed?

thanks and have a good day,
