Use your finger or a stylus on your touchscreen. Upload an image of your paper signature on your smartphone. Draw your signature using your mouse. Type in your signature then choose a style and font.
Place the cursor in your Word document where you want to insert a signature. Click the Insert tab. Select Signature Line. A menu will appear. Fill out the required fields. Select OK.
It means that every page of the document must have your full initials at the bottom right or left-hand corner. If the document lists you as Tom Jones, then put TJ. If the document lists you as Thomas John Jones then put TJJ at the bottom of every page, even the page where your signature appears.
An initial is just like a representative of your name. For instance, an initial can be formed from the first letter of a name or a word that forms part of the phrase. Like full signatures, you can also have signature initials only and this will mean using your initials as a signature to validate documents.
