Implement automatic update of outlook Signature Date

Based on the online implementation method, I have summarized the following two points:

Method 1: the simplest method

1. In the signature editing for the date to be inserted, press Ctrl + F9 to display the domain {}

2 input in this domain
{Date @ \ "yyyy-mm-dd"} Save and edit

3
Insert a signature in the email, press Ctrl + A to select all, and press F9 to automatically display the signature.

4. Before sending an email, perform step 4. 

Method 2: Use macro implementation

Use a script instead of using the built-in signature of outlook.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Open outlook and cancel the original signature.

2. Follow the menu (tool-macro-Visual
Basic Editor)

3. In the editor that appears, select thisoutlooksession on the left. The default value on the right is blank.

4. Set the followingCodeCopy to the right:

16
17 Signature = Signature &   " <P> & nbsp; </P> "
18
19 Signature = Signature &   " <P style = "font-size: 10px"> date of Automatic Signature addition <br/> "   & Mdate &   " <Br/> "
20
21 Signature = Signature &   " Date of automatic signature added </P> "
22
23
24 Signature = Signature &   " </Font> "

32 Set Myolinspectors = Myolapp. Inspectors
33
34 End sub
35
36 Private   Sub Myolinspectors_newinspector (byval inspector As Inspector)
37
38 Set Mymailitem = Inspector. currentitem
39
40 With Mymailitem
41
42 . Htmlbody = Signature ()

44 ' . Display' comment out this line for Outlook 2007

The middle part is the signed HTML content, which can be modified as needed.

5. Save and exit. Restart outlook and set tool-macro-Security to low

After a new email is created, the signature content set in the code will be used. 

 

I personally think the first methodThe date is added to the signature using the word domain method. It cannot be automatically updated to the current system date when an email is created. It must be updated by F9. this is inconvenient. I still like the second method.
