© 2011 IHS CORPORATE E-MAIL SIGNATURE INSTRUCTIONS

Please note: HTML is the recommended and preferred e-mail setting for all IHS e-mails. However, if you send an HTML-formatted e-mail to someone (internally or externally) who has HTML turned-off, all HTML formatting will be lost and your email will appear as plain text — including this signature file. In such cases, your signature may display broken images. This is not a defect in your signature file. NOTICE FOR SKYPE USERS: If you have Skype installed, you may have to disable a Skype feature prior to creating your e-mail signature. If you do not use Skype, you can skip the following instructions and begin creating your new e-mail signature.

• Open your browser and look for the blue Skype icon in the upper right-hand corner (icon should be blue with an "S" and "123" with a green phone image)

• Click on the Skype icon. • A window will pop up asking you if want to "Turn number highlighting on". Uncheck the box to disable and

click "OK".
