Electronic Signatures

[Jon]

We have an inter-departmental form that gets signed
before being passed on. Is there a way using Word (Office
XP) to electronically sign this document so it can be
emailed as opposed to passing around a piece of paper. I
checked into certificates but there is no visual evidence
on the document of an actual signature.

Thanks for your help, Jon

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but I have scanned my
signature to a jpg file and just insert it in docs requiring my signature, such
as reports, letters, etc. I wouldn't use it for something requiring a legal
signature, like a deed for instance, but for normal things that aren't gonna'
end up in court...

HTH,
John

Remember that an electronic signature is just as legally binding as an authentic "ink" signature.
