AutoCorrect Problem for Multiple-Line Entries

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

I like an optional signature in my emails. So, a couple of years ago, I copied a signature block into AutoCorrect, and had it correct "aaa" to the signature block. Easy. However, two events seem to have caused a problem. First, I recently upgraded to Office 2008. Second, I changed jobs. When I deleted the previous signature block, I found that I could no longer paste text into AutoCorrect; I can only type it in. But I haven't found a way to type end-of-line characters, so my signature all comes up on one line...

Any ideas?

you're right, t doesn't appear to be possible!

best option is to define your optional signature as a signature, you can
then select when to use it from the toolbar in the message composition
window.

Also, be sure to use the 'send feedback' link under the help menu to
complain of this 'enhancement'!
