How do I remove old signatures from Outlook forms?


I modified an existing form and saved it on my desktop as .oft file. Whenever I send this form I have an old signature that shows.

If I double click the .oft file I see the body with that old signature and then my newer one below it. I would like to delete that old signature that is stuck in the body. What confuses me is that when I open that file in Outlook forms it never includes a signature in messages, which is why when I run the form I don't see this signature except when I send it, I see it in preview when I open the message I see my Outlook form as it should be.


I managed to save the file as html. I see the signature on the bottom of the page.

How can I remove or modify the html file to remove that signature and get back the original oft file.

I also tried saving as html, removing the signature, saving, then using a macro to load the html. But unable to save back to oft.

Sub MakeHTMLMsg()
Set objMsg =3D Application.CreateItem(olMailItem)
Set fso =3D CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts =3D fso.OpenTextFile("c:\testfile.htm", 1)=20
strText =3D ts.ReadAll
objMsg.HTMLBody =3D strText
objMsg.Display
Set fso =3D Nothing
Set ts =3D Nothing=20
Set objMsg =3D Nothing
End Sub

Solution
