The company standard (set by Tom Bateman, Feb 16, 2026). Fill in your details, click Copy signature, and paste it into Outlook.
1. Your details
Leave blank if you don't have one. The line is removed.
Your personal closing, e.g. "To kindness,". Leave blank to type it per email.
2. Preview
3. Put it in Outlook
Outlook on the web / new Outlook (Mac or Windows)
Click the gear icon (Settings), then Account, then Signatures.
Click + New signature, name it Sherman.
Delete anything old, click in the box, and paste (Cmd+V / Ctrl+V).
Click Save. Under Select default signatures, set Sherman for both New messages and Replies/forwards. Save again.
Classic Outlook for Windows: File > Options > Mail > Signatures > New, paste, then set the defaults on the right.
Classic Outlook for Mac: Outlook > Settings > Signatures > +, paste, then set defaults under Choose default signatures.
Outlook on your phone: Settings > your account > Signature. Paste the plain-text version so replies from your phone don't go out as "Get Outlook for iOS".
The rules
Use this layout exactly: logo, Hebrews 1:3, name, title, direct line, office line, website, legal line, disclaimer.
Office line is always the main line: (888) 957-3438. Put your own number on the Direct line.
Keep the legal line exactly as written: "Sherman Research does not manage or advise client assets." Do not add "Registered Investment Advisor" or the street address. Sherman Research is not an RIA, and that language was removed in February.
Your email address does not go in the signature. It is already in the From line.
No extra logos, banners, quotes, or colors. Your personal sign-off ("To kindness,") goes above your name and is the one place to make it yours.
