Attach Digital Signatures to Documents
Digital signatures are a way to confirm the authenticity of a document and ensure that it has not been tampered with. Here are the steps to attach a digital signature to a document in Microsoft Word:
Open the document that you want to sign in Microsoft Word.
Click on the “File” tab and select “Info” from the left-hand menu.
Click on “Protect Document” and select “Add a Digital Signature.”
If you already have a digital signature set up, select it and click “OK.” If not, follow the instructions to set up a digital signature.
Once your digital signature is set up, you can select it from the “Add Digital Signature” dialog box.
Click “Sign” to add your digital signature to the document.
Once the digital signature is added, it will be embedded in the document and will appear whenever the document is opened. This ensures that any changes made to the document after it was signed will be detected and the signature will be invalidated.
