Q: Mac Mail Signature Image won't align to center

Hey all,

 

I can't seem to get an image to align to center in my Mac Mail signature.  This was easily accomplished in Snow Leopard by using the menu option or the shortcut Command Shift | (pipe).  The change happens in the signature editor, but when opening a new blank email, then image appears left aligned.  Going back to the signature editor, my changes are undone.  Please note that this only happens to the image and not the text content. The image that I am using is a 128X128 PNG.

 

My signature was setup in SnowLeopard last year and has not changed since I upgraded to Lion, which is why it took so long for me to identify this.

 

thanks,

    I'm not sure what happened, but I was finally able to replace the image and align it to center.

    Here's how its done...

     

    1)Align the destination space to center.

     

    2)Drag and drop the image onto the signature pane, onto the space that has been aligned to center (watch for the cursor to jump to the center).

     

    Thanks,

    I'm having the EXACT same problem.

     

    The change happens in the signature editor, but when opening a new blank email, then image appears left aligned.  Going back to the signature editor, my changes are undone.  Please note that this only happens to the image and not the text content.

     

    I have tried the suggestion solution:

     

    1)Align the destination space to center.

     

    2)Drag and drop the image onto the signature pane, onto the space that has been aligned to center (watch for the cursor to jump to the center).

     

    But, it still won't work.  HELP!  This has to be easier than this!!!

     

    Thanks,

    Same problem for me, too! I now have to center the image in the blank email template.

     

    It wasn't this way before. My image had been centered, even when I replaced it with a Christmas image recently. However when I tried to replace that one with the earlier image, I could not for the life of me get it to center, even with the instructions above. I've tried without success to click on Format > Alignment > Center. Yes, the image does center in the third signature pain under Mail > Preference, but doesn't actually work in the email template.

     

    Frustrated!
