Problem confirmed.

Additional lines are only added when using templates in .docx format, because the script uses .docx to create the other formats - and Word adds additional lines at the end of the file when converting from .docx to .txt.

The Word behavior can easily be reproduced manually:

  1. Create a new .docx file and open it in Word
  2. Save the .docx file as .txt file and close Word
  3. Open the newly created .txt file and compare the line count with the initial .docx file. The .txt file has additional lines.

I could not find an official statement or documentation from Microsoft, but the information from https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=16703 seems valid.

When creating a new signature directly in Outlook, the conversion to .txt happen automatically and without adding additional lines. This is because Outlook does not convert from .docx to .txt, but from .htm to .txt.

The next version of the script (probably v2.2.0) will have a simple solution for this problem by adopting the Outlook behavior: Conversion to .txt will no longer be based on the original .docx file, but on the .htm file createad from the .docx template.
