Have you sent an email with your signature added to Outlook and detected some extra spaces added to it after sending a message? This is because Outlook has its settings and usually adds additional areas to the signatures.

Sending Microsoft Outlook signatures, once installed, can be edited. As the signature is inserted as its object within your created messages, its content must be edited from the "Signatures and Stationery" window. The options on this window make it possible to edit nearly every aspect of your signature, including the spacing at the top and bottom of the signature and the spacing within it.

Step 1.
Launch Microsoft Outlook.

Step 2.

Click "New Email" in the "New" section of the horizontal ribbon at the top of the window.

Step 3.

Click the "Signature" drop-down menu and then click "Signatures".

Step 4.

Choose the signature that you want to edit.

Step 5.

Make the necessary spacing adjustments for your signature in the "Edit Signature" field at the bottom of the window. You can add or delete spacing lines using your keyboard's "Enter" or "Backspace" keys.

Step 6.

Click "OK" to save your changes.

Note: If you edit your signature after inserting it into your message, the edits will only apply to that message. To apply universal changes to your signature, you must make the changes in the "Signatures and Stationery" window.
