Are you sure you want to

Mark Stonham, Business Development Consultant at Wurlwind Sales Development I've just tried this and been successful, but there are modifications to the process as LinkedIn has had minor changes and I too couldn't find how to 'Use this file as template' in Outlook 2010.

At Step 5 I selected the Image I wanted and took a copy (CTRL C)
I Pasted (CTRL V) this into the Signature file once it was open for edit
Back to LinkedIn to take a Copy of my profile URL
Then in the Signature File, select the Image and add the URL using the Chain icon on the tool bar.

Once it's Saved then Selected it worked OK for me. 2 years ago
