How can you add your written signature to a Word 2013 document?

Hi,

I import a scanned image of my signature saved in .png format with the background set to be transparent.

Then, once I do that, I select the graphic image in the Word document and create an AutoCorrect entry for it. Mine is named mysig.

Then, when I want to insert a signature I simply type "mysig" without the quotation marks and press either the space bar or enter. I may have to reposition the signature that is imported.

Here is my web page on AutoCorrect, AutoText and Building Blocks.

Note: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

I hope this information helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions or require further help.

The Microsoft article to which YohandiCrespo has referred you contains the information you need (which he has copied without attribution) and more. One additional tidbit that might be useful: If your signature is a bold, dramatic one, which would ordinarily overlap the printed text when you write it by hand, you will want to insert it overlapping the text in the document. You can either put it Behind Text or, if you have used an image format that supports transparency and made the background transparent, In Front of Text.

That article is for Outlook.
