# Signature Display in Out-of-Office Messages or Auto-Responses on Gmail

Are you experiencing issues with how your signature looks in your out-of-office messages or auto-responses on Gmail?

## **Why Use HTML?**

When composing auto-responses, HTML formatting is crucial to maintain the visual layout of your professional signature. Without it, the formatting could be compromised.

## **Steps to Enable HTML Responses:**

### **❶** **Access Gmail Settings:**

Open Gmail and locate the gear icon in the top right corner. Click on it, then select "See all settings."
