However, let me tell you that, in addition to these applications, there is a way to make signatures using Microsoft Word without having to install any other app and compromise the device space.

One of the most significant advantages of utilizing Microsoft Word to create a signature is that it allows us to add our personal stamp to the document, making it appear more legitimate and professional.

In addition, signing documents with Microsoft Word is slightly easier than signing documents digitally with other apps. Despite the fact that there are other techniques as well for signing a document using Microsoft Word, I'll tell you how to sign a document using the easiest method, called "Signature line." So, let's get started.

Steps to Add Signature in Microsoft Word:

Step 1. To add a signature to your Microsoft Word document, first, you need to add a signature line, for that you have to go to the Insert option next to the Home tab and tap on it.

Step 2. After that, you will see the pencil icon next to the text box, tap on it.

Step 3. When the page of the signature setup is opened in front of you, then the Suggested signer's name, signer designation, and email id will have to be entered in that page. After filling in all these details, tap on the OK button. After following all these steps a digital signature line will appear in front of you.

Step 4. Although this process does not end here, after this you will need to create a digital ID in MS Office, for which first go to your C drive and open the program file.

Step 5. Then, as soon as you have Microsoft Office Appear in front of you, tap on it and select Root Folder.

Step 6. Now scroll down and as soon as you have the Microsoft Office 15 file in front of you, open the file by tapping on it.

Step 7. After that scroll down again and tap on the Self Cert.exe file.

Step 8. Now the page of Create Digital Certificate will appear, enter the name in the blank box with which you want to create an ID, and tap on OK.

Step 9. After that come back to the Word document and double tap on the signature line and after reaching the sign page, enter your name in the blank box present on the page and tap on the sign button.

Note:

However, after adding the signature, do not select the edit option because by doing this the signature entered by you will be erased, which will waste all your hard work, so always add the signature after editing the document, so that later there is no need to edit the document. Lastly, print the document.
