How to Import or Export an Outlook Signature

Exporting Outlook Signature Files

Step 1

Close Outlook if the program is currently running.

Step 2

Click the "Start" button, type “%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Signatures” (without quotes here and throughout) in the search box and press “Enter.” You should see three files for each of your signatures: an HTML file, a TXT file and an RTF file.

Step 3

Press “Ctrl-A” to select all of these files, and then press “Ctrl-C” to copy them to the clipboard.

Step 4

Click "Start," select “Computer” and browse to a location where you’d like to store your exported signature files. You may create a dedicated subfolder for the files for simplicity's sake. To create a subfolder, right-click in an empty space, hover your mouse cursor over “New” and click “Folder.”

Step 5

Double-click the new folder and press “Ctrl-V” to paste the files. If you intend to export the signature to an Outlook installation on another computer, it’s best to back up to a flash drive, external hard drive or a network share.

Importing Outlook Signature Files

Step 1

Set up your email account in the new Outlook installation if you haven’t already done so. You cannot import your signature until after you've created your profile.

Step 2

Close Outlook.

Step 3

Browse to the folder in which you saved your signature files. Press “Ctrl-A” to select them and press “Ctrl-C” to copy.

Step 4

Click "Start," type “%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Signatures” and press “Enter.”

Step 5

Press “Ctrl-V” to paste the files. The next time you open Outlook, your signature(s) will be available

Fix Blurry Windows 10 Fonts

Here is a handy utility you can use to correct the problem  called XPExplorer – Windows 10 DPI Fix, and it’s free.

Start it up and check the Use Windows 8.1 DPI Scaling  option and then choose your scaling level.

A restart is required to complete the installation. When you get back fonts in the apps you were having issues with, they should no longer be fuzzy, but clean and clear again.

This utility is nice to have because it will work across the board and you won’t need to use the manual method for fixing everything that has fuzzy/blurry text.
