Default How do I use a scanned signature in Word and Outlook

What you can do, is convert the signature into a font. There are various
font generation packages that will do this, or you can send it to a firm
that does this work (look in Google for "Font generation" or similar).

Then when you want to insert the signature, change to the font, type the
correct key, and hey presto - the signature. It can be whatever size your
fonts can be.

What is the best method for using a scanned signature in both Word and
Outlook? I am assisting someone with this, but I am not sure if I should
just use 'Insert' / 'Picture from file' in Word, or if there's a better
way.

Is there a way to create this once for use in both Word and Outlook?
Thanks
for pointing me in the right direction!
