How to insert signatures into a Microsoft Word document.
1. Sign up and login.
Sign up for a free Acrobat Sign account if you don’t already have one and log in. Then select “Fill and Sign Yourself” from the home screen.
2. Drag and drop a Microsoft Word document.
Either drag and drop a Word document to the files box or click “Add a file from your computer” to select the Word doc you need to sign and select next.
3. Add text.
Click anywhere on your Word document to add comments or text where needed.
4. Select signature placement and type.
Select the “Add signature” tool and then click in the Word document. Then click on the area where a signature line is needed. Choose your preferred digital signature setup as the signer: entering your full name as typed text, drawing a signature with a mouse to create a signature block, uploading an image of your signature from a piece of paper (such as a JPG or PNG), or sign with your finger on your touch screen to create a handwritten signature.
5. Apply to insert signature.
Select “Apply” to add your electronic signature to your Word document. Regardless of whether you chose to add a signature image or enter your name as typed text, your signature will now be applied to the Word document.
