SignatureSet.AddSignatureLine Method

  • Article
Office Developer Reference

Adds lines to a document where signatures are collected.

Syntax

expression.AddSignatureLine(varSigProv)

expression   An expression that returns a SignatureSet object.

Parameters

Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
varSigProv Optional Variant Represents the ID of the signature provider.

Return Value
Signature

Remarks
After the line is added, the author of the document can add the necessary information so that each signature line shows the name and (optionally) the title of the person who should sign. When a user opens the document, Microsoft Office recognizes that one or more signature lines are present, but blank. Office then alerts the user that they need to sign this document and helps them find where in the document the requested signatures are located.

Example

The procedure in the following example receives the ID of a signature provider and, as long as the document is not read-only, adds a signature line.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Function InsertSignatureLines(ByVal SignProviderID As Variant) As Signature
Dim objSignature As Signature

If CanAddSignatureLine Then
objSignature = AddSignatureLine(SignProviderID)
End If


InsertSignatureLines = objSignature


End Function
