Hi Lisa:



In order to apply a digital signature in Word or any other applications such
as Adobe Acrobat/Reader, you would need to have an account with a digital
signature company. If you go to digitally sign a Word document, you are
guided through some options including signing up for a digital signature.



Adding a signature in Word is done through the Insert menu:







If you choose the first option, this is the dialog to start the process:







If you choose the second option, your browser will open with the following
information:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/providers/digital-id-HA001050484.aspx



So it is not the same as it is in Adobe Acrobat/Reader in that there isn't a
digital signature field. You would have to educate anyone who is filling out
the form on how to "digitally sign" a Word document. In this case it would
be better if they filled in the form, printed it out and then sent it to you
by scanning it back in or by snail mail.or create an accessible PDF form
from this template (first you would need to remove all the form controls
from this document and then print to PDF, open it in Acrobat and add the
form controls then the Tags).



Cheers, Karen

Dear Karen,



I think the attached Word form is accessible. I want to add digital
signatures and route the form for approvals electronically. Can you point
me to information on how to do this accessibly, and keep the form in Word?
Any advice is most appreciated!



Sincerely,



Lisa Caid

Congratulations Karen! Although I am not completely familiar with what a
Microsoft Accessibility MVP means. What type of accessibility issues or
questions we can ask? For example can we ask you:





- questions or issues we run into when trying to produce accessible
documents from Microsoft Word?



- questions or issues we run into when using Word with assistive
technology like Jaws?



- questions or issues about potential accessibility bugs and
add-ons? For example, we have discovered a problem with Microsoft Word 2013
and MathType.



- accessibility feature enhancement requests?



With appreciation,
