[Archived] Microsoft Word Help

[Hasta]

Yes I know this is the wrong website to ask this but here goes.

I have a digital scan of my signature. I want to embed it into a letter typed in Microsoft Word. However I want my signature locked / protected. I don't want anyone to be able to click on my signature and copy it or drag and drop it.

I'm fully aware someone will always be able to take a snapshot of the screen or print the file as a pdf etc... I just want to stop your computer illiterate from getting at it.

Any ideas?

Hasta,

I may be wrong about this but an electonic signature doesn't count.

If you are signing anything financially or legally important then you need to have a "wet" signature.

Ink on paper. Depending on what you are signing for.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Colin.

Our MD asked me the question yesterday about whether he could do it and I couldn't find a way. I know it's a legal matter that the letter is for so I'll check out what you've said.

Can't be done. You can make it more difficult for them but there is no way to make the document totally secure.
