This is way too big a question to get much of an answer just here. What you
are talking about may be what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm. Digitally signed? Do you mean an encrypted digital signature or do you mean a graphic that looks like you wrote your signature. The former is meaningless to most people, the latter has no security. Scanned documents can be the underpinnings for a form but that is doing it the hard way. It is usually easier to recreate the form in Word than to try to place text fields on a scanned image. The scanned image will also make your document files a lot bigger.
