Outllok 2003 Signature script

I came across the script below in an issue of TechNet and have been testing
it ever since so that I can actually use it. I'm not very familiar with
scripting, but from playing with the code in this was able to figure out what
is what. I would like to tweak it to do a couple more things but have not had
much luck figuring these options out. If possible I’d like to have the e-mail
address be an actual link that will bring up a new e-mail with the address in
the “To:” field, I’d like to insert a logo and have it link to a website,
insert another phone number (mobile), show the address (or another filed from
AD that I could put the address in) and last but not least on the cosmetic
side I’d like to use a different font style and color.

Thanks for any help!

Here the code I have




On Error Resume Next

Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")

strUser = objSysinfo.UserName
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP:// "& strUser)

strName = objUser.FullName
strTitle = objUser.Title
strDepartment = objUser.Department
strCompany = objUser.Company
strPhone = objUser.TelephoneNumber
strOffice = objUser.Office
strMail = objUser.mail

Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = false

Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add()
Set objSelection = objWord.Selection

Set objEmailOptions = objWord.EmailOptions
Set objSignatureObject = objEmailOptions.EmailSignature

Set objSignatureEntries = objSignatureObject.EmailSignatureEntries

objSelection.TypeText strName
objSelection.TypeParagraph()
objSelection.TypeText strTitle
objSelection.TypeParagraph()
objSelection.TypeText strDepartment
objSelection.TypeParagraph()
objSelection.TypeText strCompany
objSelection.TypeParagraph()
objSelection.TypeText strPhone
objSelection.TypeParagraph()
objSelection.TypeText strmail

Set objSelection=objDoc.Range()

objSignatureEntries.Add "AD Signature", objSelection
objSignatureObject.NewMessageSignature = "AD Signature"
objSignatureObject.ReplyMessageSignature  = "AD Signature"

objDoc.Saved = true
objWord.Quit

John,

Based on the code below, you're starting to dive into VB for Apps (creating
a word doc for your signature).  I don't have a simple answer for you via
specific code, but recomened you take a look at the VB Editor (macro editor)
interface within Word or Outlook (Alt+F11).  It's really a lot more than
just a macro editor.  You can open up the object libraries for each app and
get some good code examples to accomplish what you are looking for.
Depending one which app you open it within, Word or Outlook, you'd most
likely need to add the appropriate reference libraries.  This can be done
via the Tools/References menu.  Ex., if in Outlook you will need to add
Word.  In OFF2K7, Words likbraries are refered to as "Microsoft Word 12.0
Object Library".

If you are looking for a quicker solution, you may also want to check out
Desktop Authority, www.scriptlogic.com/da.  It will automatically leverage
user inforamtion in AD to provide some great Outlook signature templates.
Also has a built in editor which allows you to setup the email address as a
mailto hyperlink as well as adjust font size, type, color...

just add this
objSelection.Font.name = "Arial"
objSelection.Font.Size = 12
objSelection.Font.Bold = True
in where the text is being typed ... like so

On Error Resume Next

Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")

strUser = objSysInfo.UserName
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & strUser)

strTitle = objUser.Title
strName = objUser.FullName
strDepartment = objUser.Department
strCompany = objUser.Company
strPhone = objUser.telephoneNumber

Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")

Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add()
Set objSelection = objWord.Selection

Set objEmailOptions = objWord.EmailOptions
Set objSignatureObject = objEmailOptions.EmailSignature

Set objSignatureEntries = objSignatureObject.EmailSignatureEntries

objSelection.Font.name = "Arial"
objSelection.Font.Size = 12
objSelection.Font.Bold = True
objSelection.TypeText strTitle & ", " & strName
objSelection.TypeParagraph()
objSelection.Font.Bold = False
objSelection.TypeText strDepartment
objSelection.TypeParagraph()
objSelection.TypeText strCompany
objSelection.TypeParagraph()
objSelection.TypeText strPhone
objSelection.TypeParagraph()



Set objSelection = objDoc.Range()

objSignatureEntries.Add "AD Signature", objSelection
objSignatureObject.NewMessageSignature = "AD Signature"
objSignatureObject.ReplyMessageSignature = "AD Signature"

objDoc.Saved = True
