Outlook signature causing ActiveX controls error

This error is caused when an advanced edit is used to create an Outlook signature with Microsoft Word. When the signature is saved to the htm or html format an ActiveX control can be embedded in the source code which causes the error.

If it is an image which is causing the problem navigate to the signature file (C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures for Windows XP)and open it with a text editor such as Notepad++.

Use Ctrl+F to open the find function and perform a search for Object. You are looking for the syntax ObjectID. Once found delete this line of code and save the file.

You should now be able to send and reply to emails using your new signature without the ActiveX error interrupting.
