Do you also have an agreement like rent, job, or NDA (non-disclosure agreement) to sign in a word document to sign? There is a long method of printing out the document and then signing it and sending it back again. Well, as you can see, this method is long, and if you want to send it urgently, then it can be frustrating too. But don’t worry, we are here with a better solution. You can also just open the word document and add a signature digitally. Here is how you can do that easily. Just follow the steps given below:
How to Add Signature in Microsoft Word
You can do it using the drawing tool:
Well, Microsoft word comes in with a built-in drawing tool. If you didn’t know, now you know. Using this in-built drawing tool, you can easily draw a digital signature and add it anywhere in your word document. You just have to follow the steps given below:
Firstly, open the word document in which you want to your sign.
Then select the draw option from the menu bar above
After that, just select the pen with which you want to sign your document with
You can also adjust the thickness of the pointer by clicking on the little arrow just beside the pen. You can also add glittering effects to your signature, but that is not recommended by us.
Use thin pointer and colors like green, black or red to achieve the best results because your signature should look as professional as in real life.
Note: If you are going to sign a document using a mouse, don’t expect it to be as perfect as in real life. So, we recommend using a trackpad that will get you closer to your real-life signature. But first, enable Draw with trackpad toggle just beside the pen.
A little dialog box will appear. Now you have to use one finger to add a signature. With the help of both of your fingers, you can change its position. Lastly, click on any key to exit the preview.
However, you must note that using the drawing tool will not deliver a professional outcome. If you want that, then you should use a built-in add-on to sign a document in Microsoft Word.
You can do it using third-party add-ons:
You can easily sign a document in Word using third-party add-ons. For instance, Adobe Sign, DocuSign, and Panda Sign. You can use DocuSign by following these steps:
Firstly, open that document in which you have to sign in Microsoft Word.
Now choose Insert > Get Add-ins.
Then an Add-in store will open in Word, and you have to search for DocuSign. When you find it, then just install the add-in in Microsoft Word.
Create a DocuSign account now by selecting the Add-in.
Now, whenever you want to sign a document, just select DocuSign from the menu bar.
Click on the Sign Document, and DocuSign will upload the signature directly to the cloud.
Note: Here, you can do all sorts of different things like add stamps, text, check box, and even details of your company in a document. Also, using a third-party app allows you to use signatures across all the different mini-apps like Google Docs, Microsoft team, Microsoft word, and even zoom.
Conclusion:
So, if you don’t want the long, frustrating process of printing out a document, then signing, and then scanning. You can choose any of these two methods to add a signature to a word document quickly and effortlessly. We recommend you to use the third part one as it has the most advantages. If you have a trackpad, then you can surely go for the first one also.
