Multiple electronic signatures in Word 2003

[hjneedshelp]

Hello,
Does Word have the capability of applying multiple electronic signatures?
In particular, I have a performance review document and there is a section
that requires an employee's and manager's signature at mid-year and
end-of-year. For employees/managers that live in different parts of the
country, we need the capability to sign documents electronically. Can Word
do this, or do we have to buy special software for this?

If not Word, does Excel or Access have this capability?
Thank you!

I believe Word 2003 (and certainly 2007) support this, yes. In Word 2003, you
start in the Tools/Options/Security dialog box and click "Digital Signatures".
You'll find some information in the Help if you search "digitally sign a
document"

Thank you, Cindy! That process seems a bit too complicated for what I was
hoping for, but I'm glad to know that that exists. Thanks!!
