You can save any graphic, including a scanned signature as an AutoText entry
by selecting it and adding it to your AutoText. See create or change an AutoText Entry in help. Note, you can save AutoText in shared files.

Is there any way you can secure the signature? I need to email the form and
have three different people secure sign the document.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AutoText.htm. To answer your
other question, you can't secure it. Anything that can be viewed or printed can be copied, one way or another. You could convert the document to PDF and not permit copying or printing, but users could still take a screen shot. You can't make a digital *graphic* signature any more secure that an actual written signature (which can be scanned); there are other types of digital signatures (encryption) that are more secure. -- Suzanne S.

No. Not in Word. Not really in any computer application although pdf is
somewhat more secure. If it can be seen, it can be copied. For security, you need digital signatures, that is encryption signatures. Look up pretty good privacy. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
